A chicken feeding frenzy

Since my family all loves apples, and the kids love using our apple peeler, we've been on a pie-making kick. As it turns out, the human Almeida family members aren't the only ones who love the fruit.

Yeah, our chickens also eat egg shells. According to Fino, it actually makes the eggs they lay in the future stronger. I try really hard not to think about the whole concept though, it makes me a little queazy.

We also have chickens, and I was taught not to feed them whole shells, but to grind them up first - something about encouraging them to eat their own eggs by giving them whole shells.

You're right about needing to grind
up the eggs shells. I had snapped the picture before the girls could crush/stomp on all the shells. They LOVE doing that.

Pretty cool you even noticed that...
