Hi!

I have a recipe for eggfood that says that after boiling the eggs, you separate the eggshell and put it in the microwave for 5 minutes, crush it, and at last add it to the eggmix.

Last time I did this I was wondering, I use a lot of eggs in my kitchen, can I separate all the eggshells, put them in the microwave (or should I boil them first?), and crush them, and offer that to my birds in a separate container (something similar to the "Hatched eggshell calcium" of Twin Beaks Aviary). Do you do this?

Remember I am mexican, sorry for my English.

If you are boiling the eggs - you do not need to microwave the shells. Simply peel the eggs and crush the shells for bird comsumption. You may combine the shell with some hardboiled egg for the birds or you may offer the crushed shell in a separate dish. I combine my shells with the eggfood.

You only need to microwave the shells if the eggs have not been pre-cooked.

Your English is excellent as always, Maru.
