Yesterday evening I gave my chickens leftover scraps and small broken up crab shells from boiled crabs and they went crazy over it. I wish I had the camera to video how they went to town eating that stuff. It was funny, at first they didn't know what to think of the orange shells(I'm not sure if they see colors or not)but, after one of them started pecking at the little bits and liked it, they all joined in and demolished it. I like how they chase each other when one has something they want. I know they would have enjoyed the shrimp shells but I made a shrimp stock with those. I guess I still could have given them the shells afterwards. Oh well, next time!

Here are a couple of pictures of the chickens scarfing down some of the crab and shrimp shells.

Thats awesome , If they ate the shells that will help produce more eggs. We used to give calcium to our chickens to make more stronger eggs
