That's the way I feed shells. Don't forget, if you eat clams, you can crush those shells, too. I don't know the calcium content of them, but they make nice grit for the birds. Chickens know when they have "enough" calcium ingested. If you're incubating, you may want to keep she shell away...

Prudes.

You are absolutely right, they will drink that liquid just like water and will get the nutrition that comes with it. Their bodies know what they need. They may not even go to the water trough, unless it's really hot. Try to keep their water cool, as if you were going to drink it.

LOL. And you're right, it IS bizarre, for sure. And HERE? It's hot.

Bazaar? Isn't that a flea market?

If they load up on protein, they will quit eating and won't get fat. (not my advice, others on here).

Hey, CT, if you're going for weight, don't go high protein, they will get the protein they need and stop eating. If ypou look back a few posts, you'll see where this has been addressed in length. They also discussed milk fermentation. If I remember correctly, it wasn't recommended very...

Maybe they'll get drunk and lay whole clutches at a time.

Feeding cattle feed containing cow parts gave them Mad Cow Disease. IMO, feeding chickens their own eggs, at least to me, would be parallel to same.

This http://www.webstaurantstore.com/20-qt-tapered-aluminum-vegetable-colander-with-handles/88538013.html should work for you. If not, go here: http://www.webstaurantstore.com/3051/colanders.html There are all kinds. Have fun with your chicks.

Also, try using wheat. It's cheap and it ferments well. Ask beer-makers.

Terrific post. BTW, I never did smell chicken-poop that smelled like Chanel #5, or even close. LOL

A good idea would be to have a wire enclosure to keep the varmints out. Open containers, out in the open, would be a feast for them.

If your feed "slops" all over the place, you're using too much water. You only want to dampen the feed. I would put the feed in the bucket and then add water enough to wet it all, the feed will soak up the water, but you do not need more. This may be the reason for "runny" birds. Diarrhea is...

IMO, if you deal with the Amish or Mennonites, you cannot go wrong. DO NOT listen to the government mandated GMO BS, etc. I have numerous friends in their communities and they have NEVER steered me wrong.

No problem. I've raised chickee-boos since 1980. But this FF is good.

You're welcome.
