What do you do with the eggs?

"What do you do with the eggs your chickens lay?"
"Eat them"
"But they're all dirty"



Cos I keep chickens for the fun of it, and just throw the 4 eggs a day away.....

"How do the chickens lay eggs if you've not got a cockerel?"
"The cockerel only fertilises the eggs, the chickens lay them anyway"
"Really??!?"

lol! What on earth do you have chickens for! I miss having my fresh eggs everyday. Maybe one day!

I didn't dare expand on the fact that eggs and poo come from the same orifice....

Just point out that eggs come in a handy dirt proof casing and they are clean on the inside!

used to keep hens and ducks and used what they produced. my son used to have an egg cooked on the day it was laid.

Would'nt you scramble them for the dog's.

How is murphy?

My dogs get any eggs that are not eaten after 5 days.

All I do is drop them into a bowl so they smash and the dogs eat the egg and shell.

Don't forget eggs are an excellent source of nutrition and are rich in Vitamins A, D, E and B. They also have good mineral content containing Zinc, Calcium and Iron and are low in saturated fats.

When I had pet ducks, [ rescued from heading for dinner plates ], they laid but I gave the eggs to my parents to use themselves or give to others who would use them. Could`nt eat their eggs myself, I`d have felt like a cannibal with them being from my girls

Like Colin has said, a wonderful source of nutrition which Max & Murphy would appreciate, (You could show these people the DLBoxers blog for how to make use of perfectly good food

P.S.
It's always good to read threads twice!! I see that you are quoting what others have said to you Sorry

PPS
Just modified above appropriately

I just had a quick look on DLBoxers blog and couldn't find what you was talking about re using good food.

Can you please put a link up for it.

Many thanks
