I reckon if you break them up they'll be as good as 'oystershell'.
Thats what they make Glucosamine from as well methinks?

My sister lives in France and I noticed when I visited, her French neighbours give both oyster and mussel shells to their chickens. They don't even bother to break them up, (although I would.)Comment

Yes you can feed eggshells back to chickens. I put all my shells in a container and put it in the oven when I'm cooking anything (to sterilise them) then I use an old coffee grinder to grind them up before adding to porridgy mash. You don't HAVE to grind them fine, but as I've got an egg-eater in my lot, I didn't want the shell to be too obviousMy girls found their way into my heart and now they nest thereComment

Should I bake them first or just wash off the creamy/garlic sauce ???"Nicos, Queen of Gooooogle" and... GYO's own Miss Marple

Baking should make them easier to crush, and you DEFINITELY need to wash off the sauce, because you don't want pre-garlicked eggs. You might want to bake cakes with a few of them....Originally posted by Nicos View PostFlowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.Comment

I would have licked all the creamy garlic sauce off anyway. Yum.Comment
