Hello, just so you know, if you give your chickens the whole egg shell they’ll start getting used to it and therefore they’ll start breaking their own eggs, even if you didn’t give it to them. What we do is we shred all our dry egg shells (we keep all the once we use in the kitchen) and then we’ll mix a little bit in with their food, cause that helps them get the nutrients back so that the next egg shells can be stronger. I hope this helps 🤗
