On average we get about 10 eggs a day. I have been saving the shells to make grit. I rinsed the eggshells under warm water, laid them on a baking sheet and cooked them at 350 degrees for 20 min. This is supposed to kill off any bacteria and get the “egg” taste out so the chickens won’t start eating their eggs. I then crushed the eggs up real small and put it in their grit feeder. I have read about this method on line. It is supposed to give them back their own calcium and is full of nutrients. We will see how this goes.

If I am going to cook with eggs, I have to crack them in a bowl to see how many yolks I get. This egg below on the right ended up having 2 yolks in it. For some reason in about every 2 dozen we are getting a double yolker. I have not done too much research on this but plan to study up and see why this is happening. I have seen double yolks from our brown and white eggs. The tan and darker brown eggs are just regular eggs! I do cringe when I see a massive eggs like this, poor hen!
