What happens here

Begin by collecting eggshells after cooking. Place the collected eggshells in a bowl or similar container and allow them to air dry thoroughly. Once completely dry, use your hands to crush the eggshells into small, flaky pieces. The video demonstrates manually crunching them in a bowl until they are finely broken.

Goal: Collect eggshells from cooking, allow them to dry completely, and then manually crush them into smaller, more manageable pieces.

Tools and materials

  • Bowl or container

Here's my pro tip. This is eggshells. So, give you a little look at this. These are my eggshells that I collect from what I cook. Okay? So, the chickens lay the eggs. Uh, they need calcium. Chickens will lay egg, lay egg, lay egg, lay egg, and then their calcium will get low, and that'll make your eggshells thin, and that'll make them easier to break, and thus your chickens will peck their eggs and consume their own eggs. But if we keep this in our garden beds and in our chicken coupe, you hear me crunching it. That's just crushing it. That's all I do. So, I put my eggshells. I'll crack them. I'll put them in that bowl. And then once they dry, I'll take my hand and just go in here and crunch them up. Cool. A lot of times, our soil
