I prevent restaurant food waste by taking home everything that isn't eaten (from everyone seated at the table with me).

The chickens are always interested in whatever I bring home, and it's that much less feed I have to buy. Win-Win.


Oh, and I'm one of those warped brussels sprouts lovers. What can I say?

Do chickens eat chicken?

I loved all vegetables... I was a weird child. I did not love stewed tomatoes! Still don't but they are tasty in vodka sauce.

Your Mom was probably a good cook, whereas mine carried on the New England tradition of boiling the crap out of everything but ketchup... that got fried.

Mom went to that school. Brussels Sprouts were my one approved veggie as a kid, I still love 'em.

Sure, chickens eat chicken. And they LOVE eggs. Too bad for them, they can't bust into 'em!

Oh yes they can. With ease too. You may need to lop off a few heads to stem the problem.

Maybe your chickens can, but mine never have. Nor did my mom's chickens when I was a kid. What kind of birds are you raising!?

How many were you raising?

I think the chances increase with the number of birds. Even my friends who have truly free range chickens, occasionally have this problem.

I dunno.

I started out with 25 birds six years ago. Right now I'm kinda low, with only 15, but I've yet to find an egg that one of the birds broke (either accidentally or on purpose).

They won't even try to eat a shell-less egg. It just sits in the nesting box like a little jelly ball until I come to collect it.

I do give my birds oyster shell calcium and their shells are quite hard - maybe this is the reason the eggs are always intact, but I've never even seen them try to peck into an egg.

Perhaps their big mama just taught them well.
