Why do you bake the shells? Also does this take care of their need for grit? I have quail. What about grinding them in a blender? Is that too fine for them?
Baking the shells gets rid of any slimy insides and helps them to crush easier. I would still offer grit, as they need the small stones to help their gizzards digest food. This is considered a calcium supplement, hope that helps!
Cool, thanks for this video.
Nice idea

Baking sanitizes. It also changes the egg residue so the girls don't make the connection to egg eating.
