[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 256921, member: 1991"] To grind shells - once they're dry, they crush really easily. I happen to have an old mortar and pestle, but the mortar got broken so now I use a plastic bucket. You could use anything to crush them - any glass bottle that would fit inside the plastic container you're putting the shells in, would do it well enough. Crushing shells is something we only do when the container is getting a bit too full, but it is very satisfying. YOu juststick something solid and heavy into the container of shells, and go crunch. Over and over, until the bits are like grit. But it does sound to me like you have a chook who has a problem just of her own. She may recover, or she may not. Time will tell but meantime, if you can quickly collect anything she lays, you need to prevent the chooks discovering how tasy eggs are or they will learn to break perfectly good eggs and you won't get any.
