15 Genius Ways to Use Eggshells : They will change your home and Garden
Eggshells are often discarded without a second thought, but they are incredibly versatile and can be used in various clever ways. Here are 15 genius ways to use eggshells that might make you think twice before tossing them in the trash:
1. Garden Fertilizer: Crushed eggshells are a great addition to your garden soil. They provide calcium, which is essential for plant growth. Simply crush the shells and sprinkle them around the base of your plants.
2. Pest Control: Eggshells can deter pests like slugs, snails, and even cats. Scatter crushed shells around your garden to create a barrier that these pests won’t cross.
3. Compost Enhancer: Add eggshells to your compost pile. They break down and help balance the pH of the compost, enriching it with valuable nutrients.
4. Seed Starters: Use eggshells as small pots for starting seeds. They are biodegradable and can be planted directly into the soil when the seedlings are ready, providing an extra boost of calcium to the young plants.
5. Household Cleaner: Crushed eggshells can be used as a gentle abrasive cleaner. Mix them with a little soapy water to scrub pots, pans, and other surfaces without scratching.
6. Face Mask: Create a natural exfoliating face mask by grinding eggshells into a fine powder and mixing them with egg whites. Apply the mixture to your face and let it dry before rinsing off for smoother skin.
7. Laundry Whitener: Add a small mesh bag filled with crushed eggshells to your laundry. The shells help to remove stains and keep whites bright.
8. Natural Drain Cleaner: Ground eggshells can help keep your pipes clean. When mixed with warm water and dish soap, they can scrub away residue and prevent clogs.
9. Calcium Supplement for Pets: Crush eggshells into a fine powder and sprinkle a small amount over your pet’s food. It’s a great way to add extra calcium to their diet.
10. Coffee Grounds Enhancer: Add crushed eggshells to your coffee grounds before brewing. The shells help reduce the acidity of the coffee, resulting in a smoother taste.
11. Craft Projects: Use eggshells in various craft projects. They can be painted, used in mosaics, or as unique decorations for Easter eggs.
12. Calcium Supplement for Humans: Sterilize and grind eggshells into a fine powder to use as a natural calcium supplement. Add the powder to smoothies, baked goods, or sprinkle over food.
13. Soil Amendment for Tomatoes: Tomato plants benefit significantly from extra calcium. Add crushed eggshells to the planting hole or around the base of the plant to prevent blossom end rot.
14. Bird Feed: Birds need calcium for their eggshells. Sterilize and crush eggshells, then mix them with birdseed to provide a calcium boost for your feathered friends.
15. Household Deodorizer: Place dried eggshells in a bowl or container and put it in your refrigerator or cupboard to absorb odors naturally.
Conclusion
Eggshells are far more useful than most people realize. From gardening and pest control to beauty treatments and craft projects, they offer a multitude of benefits. So next time you crack an egg, think twice before throwing away the shell – it might come in handy!

How to keep your chickens cool in the Summer

1. Make sure they have a constant supply of fresh water

2. Add electrolytes to water once or twice a week

3. Make sure they have shade

4. supply them with a dust bath or access to loose dirt, It’s helps clean them and it cools them off too.

5. Frozen popsicle - nothing better than a popsicle on a hot Texas day right? We’ll share that love with your chickens. You can even make them some using there favorite treats frozen inside. They will eat it up right out of your hands. That’s chicken love right there.

6. Take your old water bottles fill with water and add them to water supply and nest boxes. I also freeze milk jugs of water and place in coop. Chickens will lay next to it.

7. Have you ever been really hot and put a cool rag or ice back on your feet and it cooled your whole body down. Felt amazing huh! Fill a shallow pan with water and they will stand it it and muck around and cool there feet which in turn cools there body.

Show your chickens some love ❤️ this summer!!!

The Sebright is a Rare British breed of chicken that is listed on the TLC list as a watch. Sebrights are considered a true bantam in that there is no standard version of the breed.

This breed is primarily ornamental. They only lay about 60-80 small (bantam-size small) eggs per year.

Just want to wish all a Happy New Year and Thank everyone who has supported our small family owned business this year. For our first year it has been a huge success. We have been able to expand our farm by building a hen house that will house 75-100 hens at a time. I have purchased a new building to store feed and supplies in. We are currently in the process of running electricity and automatic waterers to all the pens. So this next spring we will have a much better selection of laying hens available. Again thank you for your support and may each of you have a fabulous New Year Ahead.
