same here Joyfull.. our chickens eggs shells are baked whenever my oven goes on....which is everyday cos i have a family to feed!(and egg shells to bake)  i use the egg shells cos it would be a shame to waste them....and my compost benifits with all the lovely chicken poo!, but like all responible chicken owners i also have grit and oystershell available should they choose to have a munch.....now where did i put my life....i had it somewhere i know i did!

Just a quick note hillfooter the baked and crushed egg shells are not to replace the grit but are instead of the oyster shell, it is a fed with their layers pellets and is finally crushed so not identifiable as an egg - thus not encouraging egg eating. I bake mine weekly (we get through about 2.5 dozen eggs a week at least here) and put them in my oven when my roast is in (we have one every week not always on a sunday - so no extra energy needed).
ps I do have a life thanks 

Don't you think that lifes to short to count how many egg shells it would need?
