[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1387619, member: 25884"] Eggs are good protein but if you even think to try to feed them, they have to be hard boiled and NO SHELLS. Once a chicken starts eating egg shells, they will be eating eggs in the nest boxes and you may as well eat all of them and start over. Feeding eggs back to hens is just asking for trouble down the road. We used to hard boil eggs and feed it back to baby chicks on the poultry farm that I worked on but it is not ideal and requires some effort. NEVER feed back raw eggs, they will figure it out and you will never get any eggs out of there for yourself. [/QUOTE]
