Try egg shells chickens like them

@StoneyRidgeFarmer 4 года назад

I typically don't feed egg shells for fear they might develop a taste for their own eggs. What's ur experience?

@joeh4295 4 года назад

I dry the shells and crumble them then mix with their scratch. Thee only breed I've found to wear their eggs are Leghorns. My Rhode Islands and Barred Rocks have never eaten their eggs. They need the calcium in their diets.

@JPLawnsMore 4 года назад

Stoney Ridge Farmer you’re supposed to be able to put golf balls in the nesting boxes to help deter them from eating them.

@eric8851 4 года назад

We leave some free choice ostershell for there calcium needs. Farm supply has a 50# bag for like 7.00 which will last a lifetime.

@bitsnpieces11 4 года назад

For the eggshells my Grannie kept the shells from cooking but would let them dry well, crumble them and then toast them in the oven before putting them out for the chickens. They got the calcium without any fresh egg smell or taste hence no pecked eggs.

@joshschannel5654 2 года назад

You could also use pumpkins instead of lettuce. Just a fun idea. I like watching chickens eat

@eddielane9569 4 года назад

Remember to keep the chicken coop clean. That gives you healthy chickens. Always clean the water containers and give them fresh water every day. Same goes for the feeders. I use to raise chickens and they love egg shells. I would put the shells in the oven and warm them to dry them out. Afterwards I would crumble them up and feed them to the chickens. It provides calcium and other nutrients. Try it.

@TSunshineful 3 года назад

That's what I do. Dry them out in oven or in the sun for a few days, then grind it up fine in my food processor or coffee grinder.

@john2510 2 года назад

I've been doing this every few weeks for the last year. My chickens love the play and the treat. Thanks for the suggestion! I use a BBQ skewer instead of an eye-bolt. I've avoided skewering myself... so far.

@reynoldsoutdoorlife3215 4 года назад

I've been wanting to do this for awhile now. They really seem to enjoy it. It also helps during the molting season. They'll peck the cabbage instead of each other.

Very kool Josh.. your chickens didn't take long to start pecking at that cabbage head. Cabbage is good for you and I, and it's good for your chickens too.

@john2510 2 года назад

Clever idea. I've tried that twice now with my girls. They really seem to enjoy it. I used iceberg lettuce, but I hear that's not very nutritious and should be given in moderation because it can cause diarrhea. I'll switch over to cabbage next time, and hope they like it as much.

@StoneyRidgeFarmer 2 года назад

funny when I hear folks talking about chickens with diarhea....in my young chicks I'd be concerned...in older birds...just let them eat whatever they'll eat...they know what's good and what's not so good. Try purple cabbage! Colorful fun snack!

@troy1672 4 года назад

Josh, thanks for the tip. I've used the cage for the cabbage but they were so cheap that they fell apart in no time. This looks like a smart approach that will last. Much cheaper than the over priced cabbage cage. One thing I did though was keep the cabbage a little high to keep them busy trying to get it and not focusing their pecking on other chickens.

@Sagir32 4 года назад

I keep my chicken coop much cleaner than in past by using a poop board. Under my roosts is a board wide enough to be pooped on no matter which way the chicken is pointing. It has 1 bys on the perimeter and the poop board has a mixture of sand, stall deodorizer, and diatomaceous earth. Chicken poops in the sand mixture and can be scooped out with a litter sifter. Coop stays dry and odor free. Chickens are usually roosting inside the coop. They like being outside. So the poop is usually under the roosts :)

@carlschnackel3051 4 года назад

I remember, in the spring and summer, we would leave the chicken coop open during the day, closing it at dusk - after the chickens returned to roost. Whenever the chickens were let out, the grasshoppers became scarce. We would see chickens chasing grasshoppers all over the place. They would usually just last for about two hops before they became chicken food.

@StoneyRidgeFarmer 4 года назад

I learned something the other day....grasshoppers lay eggs on bare ground...if ur soil is good and has good cover there will be less grasshoppers and more crickets. pretty cool little tidbit of knowledge I just read
