Can these be bashed up and given back to the hens?

You have to bake them first.

Bake them?  :?

[Aunt Sally]

yes, stops them tasting like eggs  

You don't want them to get a taste for eggs do you !

And sterilizes them.

Would they really scoff their own eggs?

[poultrygeist]

If they lay a soft or thin shelled egg, they'll often eat it before you get to it. We had a normal one with the end pecked but she must have given up before getting right through.

Have to keep an eye on them for a while.
