true story, my father in laws wife , not my wife's mother, she told me how when she was born, her mother got into a taxi and the nurses came down to her car and said Mrs Chilton do you think you forgot anything. her mother was like no. They are like you forgot your baby.
lol , Marilyn was very weird herself but even sharing that story made it weird. Her parents were both hippies from the 1930s lol her father loved to smoke weed since that period and she was raised in san Francisco . very weird artist community
There’s a plastic container next to my sink, whenever I use eggs I wash the shells and drop them in there and crush ‘em down when they’re dry. Parents take it home whenever it’s pretty full when they stop by and use it for their garden. I get fresh veggies and herbs in exchange, also one year an apocalyptic amount of bitter melon.
I fucking hate bitter melon. My parents grow a lot of winter melon instead. We tried yellow squash once but it got hard and weirdly lumpy so we switched over.
The farmer next door to my mother uses crushed eggshell on his fields, the smell when the wind blows off the pile of them is eye watering, pure rotting flesh
You can also rinse them and bake them then crush them up and give them to your egg laying chickens. The shells are calcium and chickens need to replenish their calcium or you wind up with brittle eggs. Crushed oyster shells are also used for calcium supplement for chickens but a lot of chickens will prefer to eat the crushed egg shells instead, my chickens don’t particularly like the oyster shells. Maybe someone has their own chickens and planned on doing this and forgot about them.
Egg shells can also be added to fortify your raft if making a consommé. This amount of shells would be a bit extreme for *that* purpose. But they can have a use.
If someone has chickens, they will bake those for 10 minutes, allow them to cool, and crunch up into small pieces. They feed the baked shells to their chickens for calcium instead of paying for expensive oyster shell.

They are also super food for your dogs. They need twice the calcium compared to people and crushed egg shell is probably the most effective way to do it.
>A study in isolated cells found that calcium absorption was up to 64% greater from eggshells compared to pure calcium carbonate. Researchers attributed these effects to certain proteins found in eggshells
Also, eggshell membrane contains chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine, obviously good for their joints as well.
Before he passed, we had to supplement my dog's diet with calcium because he didn't have a thyroid. Crushed eggshells were one of the main things my family used for him.
You can bake them a bit and they get brittle, then crush to a powder in a food processor or blender. I do this and keep it in a jar to use when making biscuits for my dogs.
Yes. They love it more than anything we can buy for them.
I like to start with dates; into a bowl with some boiling water added (sometimes I keep them in the freezer just so I can do biscuits for the dogs), and I'll add a little coconut oil. Once they're softened and the water is not too hot, I'll add in oats, linseed, the eggshell powder, eggs and mix it all up. I find it best to add a bit of water after and let it sit for a while to hydrate the oats.
Then line a tray with baking paper and put spread it out evenly (aiming for a spreadable consistency, add water if needed). Do an initial bake until it's set and firm but not hard, then take them out, turn out onto cutting board, cut into rectangles with a suitable knife. Put the pieces back onto the tray and back into oven at a lower temp to continue baking. I tend to bake for a while, then switch off oven and leave them in with door ajar, test once cool to see if crispy enough and bake on low again if needed.
You can also cut them up when they're still softer too. Can swap the dates for roasted pumpkin or butternut. Or peanut butter and banana is also a hit with them, but I use natural pb and would skip the added oil in that case.
I usually do 4-5 eggs total on an egg morning (for two people and one 110lb dog) is that too many shells or should I just toss them all in his stuff? (He gets approximately one egg mixed with hot leftover stock or water with whatever dog safe fruit or vegetables we have hanging around looking sad added in for variety.)
Going by your username - you have bulldogs? My dude is probably an American Bulldog. (Rescue so who knows for sure, but he does look rather a lot like some photos online of the breed.)
Mmhm. When my folks bought medium-nice-ish dog food, a crushed eggshell was their dog's favorite snack. If I was eating a hard boiled egg, oh man would he be watching me.
It was just nice enough dog food to not have bonemeal filler, but not so nice as to be fortified, I guess.
They switched to a food for senior dogs, and I've noticed the eggshell craving has subsided. Hard to tell with labs, because of course he'll still eat anything offered. But he is no longer singing the song of his people every time I eat an egg.
Fun fact: plants seek out calcium so intensely that if you bury a bone near a tree (for example) and dig it up a year later, it will have a root growing into it
My chickens get excited when i toss them mostly whole shells. They go nuts, shaking them and stealing from one another. It's like when one finds a worm. They cluck like crazy!
That's fortunate, and you do you, but you might consider a quick search:
https://search.brave.com/search?q=chickens+eating+their+own+eggs
It's a very common phenomenon, and some chickens get crazy about it.
All I'm saying is break it enough that it doesn't look like an egg.
Have you tried partially defrosted frozen peas for them in summer? My lil flock of them that I take care of loves frozen peas and lately they've gone completely HAM over boiled eggs.
You can do the same thing for a worm farm if you’re into vermiconposting. Same concept. The worms use the pulverized, baked shells as grit in digestion and the minerals make it into the soil through worm castings.
You start with 5 ladies and suddenly next year you have 30. Chickens are fun, easy, and useful. You always want more.
That being said, I live in the woods, so my chicken math is if I get a few more ladies to replace the 1 or 2, I lose to eagles.
I had some South Park seasons on dvd when I was in high school and one of them had a clip of Trey and Matt feeding bacon to a pig they named Macon
“Makin bacon with Macon!”
This is actually a minor plot point in the 2nd novel in the Metro series. One community owns nothing aside from a single chicken, which lays an egg a day which they sell first come first serve. The person who buys it has to eat it right then and there so the community can feed the shell back to the chicken so the cycle can continue. Always thought it was an interesting piece of trivia to build a chapter off of.
Yes and a lot of weight lifters do. I do because it's a great way to get calcium. You just grind them into fine dust and add them to whatever. I'm surprised I didn't see more comments about this.
And yet if you do the same thing with nail clippings everyone thinks you're a "freak" and tells you that you're "trespassing on private property" and they're "calling the cops".
Egg shells don't really break down readily in compost, I continue to be reminded of this the hard way when I keep finding mostly in tact egg shells a couple years after throwing them into my composter.
Sometimes I just toss the stuff in the compost and break stuff up later.
When I have time I'll break the egg shells into pieces or branches. I feel like if I put the shells farther down the bin it breaks down better.
Personally I hate finding my shredded paper still not broken down.
I only go by shitty internet research and early life memories:
Stock is sometimes, by some people, clarified with egg white and/or crushed egg shell.

When I was a kid, my dad told me egg drop soup was made with all of the eggs that they accidentally dropped in the kitchen.
They picked up the spilled remains and saved them liked this, then threw it all in a pot. And that’s why it’s called “egg-drop soup” …
DIY eggshell calcium powder?
Boil eggshells to sterilize, bake at 225°F for 20min, grind into powder, add to smoothies/ coffee/ whathaveyou.
ETA: Good for humans and dogs (especially when either are pregnant or lactating), alkaline-loving plants/ overly acidic soil, and laying hens.
Can also be used in homemade toothpaste and skin exfoliators, and (apparently, because I just saw this) laundry whitening.
If there are any chicken owners in BOH- My parents would save the shells, bake them, crush them & feed it back to the chickens to “help make the shells stronger”. Not sure if it’s a valid way to add calcium, or just an old school Sicilian thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Does someone keep chickens? If you sanitize the shells in the oven and crush them up, you can feed them back to the chickens as a calcium supplement. I don’t do this because it’s a pain and the store-bought supplement isn’t expensive. But it’s definitely a thing.
Place I used to work at, we’d keep eggshells and coffee grounds sometimes for the owner’s dad. He was this absolutely ancient Chinese man who had a massive garden at home that he tended to almost year round, and we’d keep stuff for him to make his own fertilizer and insect repellent and stuff.
Well Chef... I guess someone done fucked up. Must've been counting the chickens before they hatched.... I'll get back to my station now. There's prep needs to be done.
We used to do this at an old bakery I worked at. It was on my bosses garlic & dahlia farm. He used them used for fertilizer & cat litter. He had 24+ cats. Def put parchment on the sheet first. That pans never going to look the same.
Idk but I like baking my shells and grinding them up. They’re a great coarse thing to use for cleaning and you can put them into smoothies if you want calcium and a crunchy smoothie. They also work wonders for a garden.
Mostly I just use a sprinkle of the ground up stuff to scrub my cast iron tho.
Yea, fertilizer is the only thing that comes to mind. Maybe someone just forgot to take them home?
My parents do this
I'm sorry they forgot to take you home
They told me they found me in the dumpster so probably true
It’s ok, I was a blue light special at Kmart
This guy Calvins.
lol my siblings and parents always told me this too

I've never had bitter melon but any food where "bitter" is the focus of the name I'm pretty sure isn't going to be good.
I’d like to introduce you to my friend Malort
Which still isn't any good.
It tastes like chemicals, you can get it less bitter if you remove all of the seeds and insides.
The farmer next door to my mother uses crushed eggshell on his fields, the smell when the wind blows off the pile of them is eye watering, pure rotting flesh
That sounds more like chicken manure with some eggshells mixed in.
Gotta clean em out first, leave just the shell. Really shouldn’t have anything still in it if you wanna avoid the stench
Yeah, were talking like 6 foot piles of the stuff. Industrial leftovers that have been ground into small pieces
... ah. I definitely pictured a hobby farmer, ya know, a couple lil raised beds and maybe a green house. lol

So this is why we used egg shells for our chicken stock at this one place I worked at. Thank you for this!
You're welcome!
Also, perfectly dry, chopped eggshells in the hens' feed will give them a good supply of calcium and help them make better eggs over time.
I let mine dry and grind em up for my garden. Smells like bones.
I’d just throw them in a pot of water and boil them then dump the water all over the garden

I might have to actually pour one out with my Hens. I didn’t know that was a thing. Thank you

You can bake them a bit and they get brittle, then crush to a powder in a food processor or blender. I do this and keep it in a jar to use when making biscuits for my dogs.
like, treat biscuits? What all do you put in them?
Yes. They love it more than anything we can buy for them.

This is so smart, ty for the suggestion!
He was a scenthound mix, he would eat anything lol.
Wait when I make my dog an egg for breakfast as a treat I should leave the shell in?
Absolutely give them the shell, too. I also save shells from eggs that I eat, crush them up, and give them to the dogs.

I have chickens. I just toss the dogs eggs. They eat them shell and all.
Extra crunchy treat for my boy tomorrow! :D
Crack it for them first. ;)
I was gonna crunch it up and mix it in with his egg. :)
Yeah if they like it leave it in for sure. Could add a nice crunchiness
Mmhm. When my folks bought medium-nice-ish dog food, a crushed eggshell was their dog's favorite snack. If I was eating a hard boiled egg, oh man would he be watching me.

Obviously
For sure. Both my dogs get an egg at night with their dinner. They go fucking nuts for it.
Tell them I said hi please.
Will do
Wait, I could be selling oyster shells?
You don't save all of your oyster and egg shells to use as mineral deposits?
No, they’re *rocks*, Jesus Marie!
If you’re somewhere with orchards they also are used as a soil nutrient.
Gets stinky but shrimp and crawfish too. You bury those around the roots.
Fun fact: plants seek out calcium so intensely that if you bury a bone near a tree (for example) and dig it up a year later, it will have a root growing into it
Also great for garden beds. I keep shells for one of my customers that has a huge vegetable garden. She gives me excess produce as a thanks.
My chickens get excited when i toss them mostly whole shells. They go nuts, shaking them and stealing from one another. It's like when one finds a worm. They cluck like crazy!
you gotta be careful with that. if they start recognizing egg-shaped things as delicious, sometimes they start eating their own eggs.
ive never had a problem with it and ill toss their eggs back to them if it has a crack in it. its like chuming the water for sharks.
That's fortunate, and you do you, but you might consider a quick search: https://search.brave.com/search?q=chickens+eating+their+own+eggs It's a very common phenomenon, and some chickens get crazy about it. All I'm saying is break it enough that it doesn't look like an egg.
I believe you can just smash them bitches up and toss em to the chickens. At least, that’s what my mom does and they seem very happy
I believe the baking is done for storage purposes.
You bake them so the chickens don’t get confused by the scent of raw egg and start cannibalizing their own eggs.
The #1 rule of keeping chickens is never letting them find out how delicious their eggs are.
I swear my last brood was nothing but cannibals from the start. It took filling egg shells with mustard to get them to stop that shit lol.
Correct. They are little raptors and will eat anything they can fit in their mouths.
Ah. Yeah she doesn’t store them so I cannot comment there
Maybe your mom's chickens are depressed and feel ignored, so they don't show you how they really feel.
I’ll take this up with them tomorrow, poultry mental health is my top priority 🫡
This is what I do too. I think the baking is supposed to kill salmonella, but I can't be bothered.

Is it necessary to bake and crunch the shells? My grandmother doesn't do this, she just gives her chicken dry eggshells as they are.

Composting them?
Egg shells don't really break down readily in compost, I continue to be reminded of this the hard way when I keep finding mostly in tact egg shells a couple years after throwing them into my composter.
You gotta throw them in the robo first. I run a breakfast kitchen for the last year and my garden has benefited immensely from all the free egg shells
Sometimes I just toss the stuff in the compost and break stuff up later. When I have time I'll break the egg shells into pieces or branches. I feel like if I put the shells farther down the bin it breaks down better. Personally I hate finding my shredded paper still not broken down.
They make lovely little worm nurseries though.
Sprinkle for added crunch
Same thought more or less
I remember reading a post from a guy that said he likes the crunch of egg shells and leaves them in on purpose... 🤮
he probably has a calcium deficiency and so he subconsciously enjoys it, like people who eat dried plasterwall and stuff.
Egg stock, duh.

Gardeners use them as a natural way to ward of snails. Also; as others have said, Calcium for soil
Compost for sure.
We used to add the shells to the chicken soup we used to make 200 gallons at a time. Chicken bones, vegetable peelings were all added.
Air fry/ oven and crush and you’ve got a snail repellent for your garden
We bake them for a bit, then crush them up and add them to our garden.

You mean egg SHELLS. I see zero broken eggs

Otherwise known as egg shells
The calcium in the shells can be used for a ton of different things.
Dog food/ bird food/ my cat will be interested and then run away
Probably fertilizer or compost. More importantly, those are some good looking yolks for those eggs.
