chocolatedog Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hi - I'm not sure if this has been asked before or not, but is it safe to eat soft shelled eggs or would you just pop them in the bin? I just wasn't sure if there would be any contamination of the egg without its usual hard exterior to protect it....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hi chocolatedog, I have eated the only one which I saw laid & literally whipped it indoors, broke the membrane & scrambled it...........it was yummy I have salvaged a couple of others & scrambled them for the chooks...they didn't stay around very long! Most of ours are either mashed into the hemcore so would be a bit crunchy or drop through into the poo tray and I'm not even going there ! *whispers quietly* we aren't getting so many softies since we swapped to the BHWT feed, not even one a day, which is great as a week or so ago I had 3 softies in one day !!! I'm still using up the Spillers stuff, so they aren't on full ex-batt rations yet, but will be soon Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 The BHWT feed is made by Allen & Page, and specially adapted for exbatts but I use it for my non exbatts and they love it. We do not have so much wastage and we are getting a lot more eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Oh thanks I will try to buy some as one of mine is laying soft shells. I have increased grit etc so will give that a go and mine do waste their layers pellets thanks indie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
