dried blood (not sure which one of my chooks has a sore 'bottom'! LOL).

Yes, I know, gross! Well, it kind of makes me wonder what the

commercial mobs do to clean the egg shells so well. Before I start

making the egg shell calcium concoction, I was wondering if anyone

would have any suggestions as to how to clean the egg shells? Water

doesn't seem to get them clean and I don't want to use a chemical

cleaning product. Any ideas? Anyone out there who has their own chooks

and has made the egg shell concoction? Thanks for any advice.

==>Soak the eggshells in warm water and then wipe off any spots with a

soft cloth. If warm water doesn't do it well enough you can also add

1/8th cup 3% hydrogen peroxide to a bowl of warm water for soaking.
