How to use old egg shells for better gardens and back yard chickens!

What happens here

Once the eggshells are crushed, take a handful and sprinkle them into the chicken coop or directly onto the ground for your chickens. Chickens instinctively peck at and consume these calcium-rich fragments, which helps replenish their calcium levels, leading to stronger eggshells and preventing them from pecking at and eating their own eggs due to calcium deficiency.

Goal: Provide the crushed eggshells to chickens as a natural calcium supplement to improve eggshell strength and prevent issues like thin-shelled eggs.
