So glad it's an everyday kind of cake. Those are my favorite. And I'm equally thrilled to have made another female-farmer-blog friend. :)<br /><br />I originally saved these eggshells to actually crumble in little rings around the base of plants prone to slug damage. Somewhere I read that it prevents the slugs from being able to get to the plant. But yes, they are indeed excellent treats for the ladies too...mckenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02617910290820472508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6281069965301856533.post-65000239597927388452012-01-30T13:22:51.731-05:002012-01-30T13:22:51.731-05:00lindsay! first off, congratulations on the first e...lindsay! first off, congratulations on the first egg! are they your own chickens? or the farm's chickens? a green first egg must certainly mean good things. <br /><br />second, yes, egg shells to give your chickens a little needed calcium boost. makes their shells stronger. you crush the egg shells up before giving them back to the chickens. this way they don't ever associate the shape of the egg with a delicious treat or you will find yourself with egg-eating chickens. an awful mess.katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049595707161522917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6281069965301856533.post-55612283190540246232012-01-30T12:52:12.463-05:002012-01-30T12:52:12.463-05:00I love that you found a like-minded blogger to con...I love that you found a like-minded blogger to connect with!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181898802329959889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6281069965301856533.post-10516150375408885432012-01-30T12:42:10.658-05:002012-01-30T12:42:10.658-05:00Kate,
