I feel like we have been waiting forever for these chickens to start laying. And now, all of a sudden, we have a fridge shelf stacked full of pretty little brown eggs.
We sold our firsts today!
There are so many great things about eggs. I like mine scrambled with salt.
One thing about eggs, that not many people realize, is that the shells can also be useful. We use ours as supplements for our now laying chickens. It takes a lot out of a hen to produce egg after egg. We try to make sure to replenish her nutrients.
So after making a scrumptious breakfast, we lay out eggs shells on a baking sheet and bake them at 350* for 30 minutes.
Then we crush them up.
The idea is that we don't want the hens won't recognize them as eggs (otherwise, they might start eating eggs out of the nest boxes).
Then we toss the crushed shells in for the chickens.
A healthy chicken lays healthy eggs.
I hope that we have many more eggs to come.
Welcome back to Eco-Kids Link-Up! We had so many great posts shared last week! I enjoyed each and every one of them. Here are a few of my favorites from last week!
My Bunny is a no nap two year old (she does sleep 12-14 hours at night) and by mid afternoon I am tired and looking for fun ways to keep her emtertained.
Kids Zone: Children at Play had a GREAT idea... tape!!
Another link I really liked was from
Creative Chaos. I use a salt block for a natural deodorant. I shared my reasons why and all the details
here... but this looks like a great homemade deodorant recipe.
Making Boys Men had a great Outdoor Play post!! An ocean apart and yet our outdoor play pictures looks very much alike.. well not counting the cool castle looking structure in several of her pictures.
