As I'm baking something else I set my eggshells on a cookie sheet, when the food is done I turn the oven off & put in the shells - the oven stays plenty hot for ten minutes to do the job, and it doesn't take any more energy/money.
We just set ours in a pot on the wood stove. They crumble easier after as well. Kinda smelly though. The first few times we did it, we tossed the dogs out thinking they were the culprits. When that didn't help, we were eyeing each other suspiciously till we figured it out. Enjoy your day 😊
Haha! Do you boil them then? Not something I recommend if you are wanting to use them for the mineral content
@@RainCountryHomestead no, just set them on dry. When that membrane gets darker, they seem to be easier to grind down. We just give them back to the chickens or the garden. We haven't taken them ourselves. I cannot confirm or deny if my wife is of the age , that taking them may help her, but I need to look into that so I can get some sleep.
My chickens have eaten a small snake and dead critters that we have thrown into the compost pile. I love my chickens
I learned how to make the best coffee using those blessed eggshells, the acid of the coffee disappear and all is left is the actually taste from coffee. I absolutely love this method.
Interesting!
@@RainCountryHomestead I also grind it very fine after baking it for 15 minutes then I put inside the capsules and Iam taking it every day, I knew that eggshell are 95% made out of calcium and there are plenty people and doctors recommending it on internet. ♥️
I watched both your videos on eggshells and maybe I missed it but how much do you take each day? I’m in my 50’s and having hot flashes and night sweats. I have been grinding them for years as a supplement for my dogs but would love to add them to smoothies and protein shakes to help get more calcium and magnesium in myself and my family.
I wondered about ingesting it via coffee but wouldn't the acidity of the coffee break down the nutritional value since the minerals are alkaline?
@@simplysavvylife hi friend, thank you for commenting, unfortunately I can’t tell you about that, but it is a good question to be asked. 😊
I use the shell in the coffee to break the acidity not really to get the calcium of the shells so for me it’s ok. Best wishes ❤
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK.
New subscriber, thanx for your Godly words, so refreshing to hear someone who is not ashamed of Christ !!! 😊😊😊
Thank you for making this video! I was clueless on all the ways to use eggshells! You gave me a ton of tips! Can’t wait to watch your other videos! I really appreciate you!
Thank you so much! I have been drying and saving my eggshells all winter for the garden and was wondering about processing them! Now I know. God is good, all the time! Have a wonderful day!
Y bake and not boil. Y is she not worry about the bacteria
@@cupidok2768 because there are good bacteria and bad bacteria. Soil and your gut need the good bacteria. Baking kills most bad bacteria, then the good bacteria take over. Does that make sense? Not all bacteria are disease causing. Without good bacteria you couldn't digest your food. It's also a protective layer on your skin. When bad bacteria get out of balance with not too many good ones, that's when infection can result. Your body heals itself if you give it the right building blocks.
Why are you so fearful of bacteria? It's in cheese, yogurt, sauerkraut, kombucha and other foods.
I hope I answered your questions.
@@joyful_tanya bad bacteria on egg shells
@@cupidok2768 there's been a lot of hype about salmonella being on egg shells. That is why you bake them, because salmonella is killed in a 140 degree Fahrenheit oven for 30 minutes.
@@joyful_tanya thats my question. She's not doing it and still alive so it means bad bacteria/viruses don't exist
My grandmother use to rinse , and dry on low heat in oven or on top of her wood stove, to feed back to chickens and for garden,
Thank you. I was just praying (in tongues) and the idea of consuming egg shells came to me, so I looked for it on both google and TH-cam (yes whilst still praying in tongues lol) and came upon your channel. co-incidentally (God-incidentally), just yesterday, I was speaking to a very close relative about calcium, they are about to start a particular treatment that could leech the calcium from the bones and lead to osteoporosis, so I told them to supplement with calcium, with care. In one of your other videos, you emphasised the need to include magnesium when taking calcium, so I will let my relative know they need to do this. I will be telling them to collect egg shell and start consuming them. Thanks again. I have subscribed💓💓💓
Thank you Heidi for sharing this video on preparing the egg shells. My question was answered about the local chicken eggshells too. I really appreciated you explaining in details. Have a blessed day too. I am in the Caribbean.
200 degrees. Thank you!
Thank Heidi, I use them in my garden to add to my soil.🙂
I am currently soaking my egg shells in vinegar as I use them. That vinegar will be strained off and used diluted with water, in my garden this year. I crush them with a pestle as I add them to the vinegar and will also use the strained off shells to put around plants that attract slugs 😉
@Susan Banks detour 😉 definitely used the wrong word!
Thank you for clarifying my husband is already doing this but just wanted to make sure we are doing it right!! 🙏
Thank you Heidi. It’s nice to know I’ve been on the right track with the way I save & grind mine up as well. 😃
We never throw any of our own eggshells away...use everything! GOOD JOB, HEIDI! I've learned a lot from through the years I've followed...my citrus vinegar I use with every load of wash! (I learned to make the vinegar FROM YOU, MY DEAR!) Hubby will be watching the "pump" video of Patrick's ! So, again thank you so much for sharing! :) Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN :)
Use everything! I wish more of us would adhere to this sage bit of advice!
Glad I found this. I’ve been saving eggshells for several months hoping to use them when I plant my garden. Now I know! 👍
My dog has always gotten one right out of the nest egg every day - but then I saw that some people just throw the egg for their dog and the dog ate the whole shell. Well, the inside membrane of that shell is very good for the dog and I guess the shell. For a while, my German Shepherd ate all of the shell, then she just ate some and some days none and then eat it again. She seems to know if she needs it.
Dogs always know. Except for poop eating, thgey usually know.
Great timing as usual! Thank you Heidi!
Thanks for the whole info, I’ve learned a lot in these few minutes ❤
Thank you for this recipe!
Slugs, snails and snakes. I live up against a wildlife reserve in SoCal and egg shells keep rattlers away from my front porch. They work way better than Snake Away.
While they are utterly ineffective on slugs here (not only do we have a great amount, they are very tenacious) they can be very useful in that way for many others
Corn meal, sprinkled in the area where snails travel, worked wonders for me in getting rid of our snail problem.
Everyone thinks I don't know what I am talking about when I tell them to use POWDERED yellow sulpher. This is lead in ....... I like many people I want much better food so I have gardens & chickens . I was having issues with snakes having free meals of my eggs & was going nuts trying to figure out how to reduce or stop them from freeloading . It took me several mo. to accidentally remember what my grandmother used in her coops . Now mind you she was beyond terrified of snakes , even toy snakes . She used the sulpher everywhere & very heavily also . I was 57 when I remembered this & put it down on the coop floor , in the bottom of the nest boxes , around the outside of the coop , along the fence , just everywhere . Needless to say the snake issue stopped almost completely in 48 hrs . I now use it on a regular basis yr round . I also use it around & under my house , where the grandkids play and again just everywhere . Also spiders , scorpions , most inscets do not like it either . It helps deter mice in my coops also , not as well as snakes but I would say a 65% deterant . If this did not work I would not keep spending my $$$ on it . Many of the ways the old folks used are the best & don't involve using dangerous chemicals. Everyone have a good day.
@@louisevaughan2165 wow, great info! Thanks for posting!
Is this method considered ORGANIC & Pesticide free? I'm keeping this comment/information if I ever need getting rid of snakes!
Just trying to learn, to do things natural as possible! Is a lifetime of learning.
@@nz5752 Learning is a life long process . My Great Grandmama always told us that " You can learn at any stage of your life , it is up to you. You can learn things at 90 yrs old & never leave the town you were born & raised in . You can also be sedate , senile & a stick in the mud at 25 yrs old & ready to die , that is up to you also ." I have never forgotten that . My statement is " Self education is free & knowledge is power .So never stop learning . I don't know if it is considered organic but sulpher is natural occurring compound & everything is considered a " chemical compound " whether naturally or man made . I prefer this to the man made stuff but always use with caution . My daughter could not go up to the coop to gather eggs because she was allergic to sulpher .
I love that comment about chickens not being vegan!
I've said that forever, has anyone ever butchered chickens and seen the crop?
We used to find very interesting things in there.
Also vegan fed chickens, even if organic will be fed mostly soy and corn and that is a reason some people may have problems with eggs.
It may actually be the corn and or soy they were fed all their lives.
We never feed our chickens soy, some non GMO organic corn I believe is in their feed but mostly they get other grains and whatever bugs they forage for and kitchen scraps, including meats
Raw eggshells won’t break down in soil, it will take decades, even if they are powdered. Just add vinegar and create calcium acetate, which can then be used as a liquid feed or foliar spray or compost tea ingredient
👍 Danke fürs Hochladen!
👍 Thanks for uploading!
👍 Very good and beautiful, thank you!
Thank you so much! Very helpful!
Thanks for sharing the information, God bless !
You are so incredibly helpful! Thank you Soooo much! 💚💜💙🇺🇸🙏🙏 Blessings!🙏🙏🙏
Oh goodie....I am doing all the right things already👍
One mistake i made was putting a lid on the container and they went a little moldy.....learnt my lesson there.
Thanks for the info! 👍
Thanks for this. I've been pulling the membrane out (read it somewhere)....not easy.
Thankyou sooo much for quick reply ...much appreciated
Than You for this great video! God Bless
Great information 🌻
Appreciate this video. God bless!!
New subscriber..love this would love to see examples of leaving membrane etc
Ok, I am watching this the 2nd time and now I see what you do to make powder. I need to quit multitasking when I watch/listen to your videos, but sometimes its the only way I have time. Thank you!
This made me chuckle because I can SO relate, I do the same thing while listening to videos then realize I missed something important, haha
Ugh.....that is sooooo me !!!!
The eggshells I use for me I will wash and dry, the ones for the garden I don't bother, but yes, I have tons and need to grind them!!!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for this!!!!❤
Thank you
Thanks for the video
Ty
Thank you and God Bless 🕊️🙂
very helpful 👍 Blessings
"Vegetarian only diet" is a marketing ploy only. You are so right, Heidi. Our hens like all the foods you mentioned; plus I have seen our hens hunt, catch, and eat frogs. One time one hen actually chased a squirrel. The squirrel got away, but she wanted it!
I think I'll process some shells for tomato-planting time. I usually crush them by hand and throw them into the compost, but the tomatoes could use the extra calcium.
Some tomatoes are naturally more susceptible to it, Romas (paste tomatoes) are the worst
@@RainCountryHomestead Last season I made a solution of calcium capsules dissolved in water. Sprayed the tomatoes and peppers. Had no rot on the peppers at all. Only one variety of tomato suffered; I had planted it in a not-so-good spot (first year planting a hoop house. Mistakes were made.) i didn't go buy any capsules, just used an old bottle in the back of the pantry cabinet that I hadn't gotten rid of. I also spray my nightshades with aspirin solution,but that's off topic! 😉
So true about cannibal chicken s, I heard a huge fight in the woodpile and they had found a live frog 😂 it was a bloodbath 😂😂
Excellent! 💫
God morning bless the day ☀️🌻
egg shells r great
Next time I set up my grain mill, I’ll try grinding some to see if I can get them ground finer.♥️
If you have it set up for a fine grind for flour, that may work well. I should try that myself, my grain mill is always ready for turning grains into flour
Curious of the grain mill worked out for you ladies? (In regard to the egg shells)
I rinse them and lay them out on my dehydrator tray and dry them which also helps with the salmonella, I used to put them in my oven on low heat but i like the dehydrator method better. I grind them first n a blender and depending on how i use it i grind in a coffee grinder attachment that you can buy to use with a ninja and that makes a great powder.
While I do not concern myself with salmonella, unless your dehydrator is set at 200°, I am not sure how effective it will be at killing it
Hi how are you, love your channel. Just followed your instructions for getting the egg shells ready to blend. Once blended do you put the powder on the shelf or do you put it in the refrigerator. God bless and be safe.
Hello! Could you do a video of what you eat in a day? I'd like to see how you incorporate all your vinegars, supplements, egg shells, herbs, ect along with your meals. What are some examples of what you eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? Do you have snacks? Sometimes I just get overwhelmed figuring out how I'd get all these things into my daily diet. I'm new to all this so a video seeing how you do this would help! On another note: your complexion is so pretty! 😍 Thanks and God Bless!
I have many recipe videos showing me using things like vinegar, wine, mixed greens, herbs and more plus I have videos spherically on the many uses of these same things and will link to a few here:
Mixed Greens: th-cam.com/video/w2oeewjIKsQ/w-d-xo.html
Many Uses for Homemade Vinegar: th-cam.com/video/D0Id73YiV1s/w-d-xo.html
Many Uses for Homemade Wine: th-cam.com/video/frP2wgyOMDU/w-d-xo.html
I will be doing a video on diets and how I eat (generally) soon.
@@RainCountryHomestead
Thank you!
Hi Heidi God is good all the time amen. Hallelujah.❤❤
Try a small spice grinder. It powders finer than a regular blender.
Great information. We've been doing this for the chickens, I wasn't aware humans could benefit too, especially ME who is in menopause. I will watch.your videos. Thanks Heidi.
Hey, I am a little k in a purple circle too 😊
Which sometimes confuses me as it causes me to mix you two up but seeing the purples together, they vary a bit in color
@@RainCountryHomestead maybe I should put my picture avatar.
nice info thanks
If you have a flour mill which I’m sure you do. Use that. I use mine and it grinds into a very fine powder.
Yes, we have a grain mill but for some reason had not thought of using it for my egg shells
@@RainCountryHomestead lol you’ll never stop now
Thanks😉
Good coverage
Great video Mrs Rain - What are the best ways to store powdered/broken eggshells? Should jars be stored out of light or refrigerated? And how long can I store my jar for? Thank you in advance.🌺
No need to refrigerate if they are fully dried, which they should be. Yes, cool dark places are always best for preserving nutrients but they should store indefinitely
Wonderful
Thanks mom God bless
Thank you, I was needing more than amount of heat and time. I was really washing out all of the egg. Hopefully this is still alright. I’ll be sure to let my daughter know. They are raising baby chicks. Any suggestions would be wonderful. Thank you for sharing! Have a wonderful day!
Two videos said egg shells will not decompose for many years unless first treated with vinegar.
When I want some calcium, I just eat one of the shells I just cracked. Quicker, less hassel.
I’ve been taking about half a ts a day of egg shell powder for quite some time. I keep the powder in a small glass yar with a lid on in the fridge, but does it have to be kept cold? I saw someone in another video saying that egg shell powder would be safe to consume for up to 3 months, and since seeing that I’ve been concerned if I infact do something everyday that is doing me more harm than good..?Have tried to find an answer to this for months, but finally figured you, Heidi, would be the person to give me the truthful answer to this. The powder still looks completely fine, and there’s no smell either. Thank you for everything you share! God is Good All The Time. 🥰🙏🏻💪🏻
Since it is dried, there is nothing to be concerned about. I never refrigerate mine and I have had some for well over a year. Some people just make assumptions about how long dried items will last and say it as if it is fact.
For the salmonella, just put the eggshells in a sunny place after rinse, for 4 to 5 days.
Thanks, this looks great for nutrition as well as supplimenting soil. I was vegan for 2 years, but now I need at least 2 eggs every couple of days, it solved my issues and I still get all of the vegetable strength and energy. Most importantly I stick to the one meal at the end of the day, no microwaves or wireless devices or LED bulbs or screens. Technology causes a lot of health problems nowadays. Sugar free diet is great. Fasting reduces fatty liver from toxic corn syrup.
LED light causes issues?
Good Morning 🌞
Oh I been used a little dish soap on my eggs when I clean them
I think you read mt mind
Thanks for the information
Your chickens are beautiful
Heidi, we put the eggs shells on our dogs food as well. Heidi I should start taking powder egg shells, I just keep forgetting to do so. *lol* Oops and yes thank you for showing Mr. Cody
I do not remember every day either but I did today thanks to my own video! haha
love your egg basket made of cloth ...did you make it can you do vid on making it plz
Here is the crochet video I did a few years ago on how to make the baskets: th-cam.com/video/643uRCb29Ls/w-d-xo.html
I would like to add don’t grin the egg shells in a plastic blender unless you just have it for this because it will eat up the glossy look of the blender. Use glass or stainless steel.
True, my blender has a glass pitcher and I will never own a plastic one
Eggshells are great especially for fruits and vegetables.. Fresh and don't nees any chemical artificial fertilizer.
Thank you for your videos Heidi! I need to start taking my eggshells. I imagine they last a long, long time in the jar?
Yes, they do not spoil
Heidi, coool!
I started saving egg shells about a yr ago.
We have a solar oven - any idea if the solar oven would accomplish heating/sterilizing the rinsed shells to 200° (?)
Yes, if it gets to 200°, it will work, I just make sure they are clean is all and do not bother heating
Good morning, Heidi! 🌄
How many chickens do you have? I'm not going to make a snap decision but I think the coop may need an addition. 😉😁
✝️🤗💜
I currently have 10 but might be adding a few more this year
How do you eat the egg shell's?
Do you mix it with food or as in tea?
Love your
I throw mine out in the garden raw or cooked. Great video 🙏🏽✝️
You are amazing ❤️
Love your vlogs
Hi! We are doing a experiment for our subject research, i have a question, how to remove the bad smell of the eggshells? Thank you!
When you mentioned 200 degrees in the hoven it is Fahrenheit, right? Here in Portugal use celsius and i Just wanted to check this for sure 😊
Yes, it is Fahrenheit, I do not always remember to point that out, sorry!
Can you ad apple cider vinegar to the crushed egg shells and make it into calcium supplement after 30min and add 1tbls per gal to there water (a fermenting process)
You can but it tastes pretty nasty
When I start making my capsules do I take 1 or 2/day, the capp size is 00? Thank you
You said sprinkle the powder on the dogs food... I was wondering could we sprinkle it on our food.. or add it into the cooking process 🤔🤔🤔🤔 thanks for sharing your knowledge
You could but it will be gritty and I doubt you would enjoy it, better taking in a capsule for a in a quick swig of some kind of liquid be it water, colloidal silver, juice, anything where you can wash it down quickly
i dont have acess to fresh eggs should i clean the store bought differntly??
I was just wondering if you’ve ever used ground up chicken bones as a supplement. I usually end up with lots of soft chicken bones after making bone broth.
Eat them if you get them soft enough. Loaded with minerals and collagen
Will microwaving work just as well as baking the shells. I’ve zapped then for about 10 seconds.
I personally do not recommend microwaving and I really cannot say if it would work the same
And all the time God is good
A question dear friend, I boil eggs a lot and save the shells, I use them under my tomato plants. Do you think that takes the minerals out of them? I had wondered about this and just thought to ask, Jess on Roots and Refuge puts a entire egg under her plants, I did a few last year but didn’t notice a huge difference versus just the shells. Thanks for all you do and great info you share, blessings
I believe the boiling does deplete the minerals in the egg shells but this is an assumption on my part
@@RainCountryHomestead I felt it probably did, thank you Heidi, I will just save our scrambled eggs from now on, blessings
I'm new to eggshell health benifits. I do keep chickens and usually give them or my plants the shells. I would now like to powder them for myself. My question: How Long will powdered shells keep in a Glass/container? Can they go Off/Bad after a time?
Thank you!
as long as they are clean and dry when going into the jar, there is no reason for them to ever spoil
Our chickens seem to love to lay their eggs and deposit their manure in the same space. I have not been saving those shells for human consumption. Do you think they would be safe if they were washed and "baked"?
Yes, you can wash and bake them or at least use them for the garden
new here thanks for sharing
I watched the other video of yours about egg shells. If Yiu make capsules, what would be the amount you’d take daily? What are some other ways to get it in your diet besides the tea you mentioned?
I would take two capsules daily but you can add it to any liquid to drink it down, water, juice, kombucha, whatever
How long will the Calcium powder last, I intend using it for my garden.
Thank you,
Brad.

Egg shells do not spoil so I see no problem with it lasting for years
I followed ur last eggshell video & now have been going thru all my eggshells myself & now need more for the garden lol! I’ve been taking them instead of my regular calcium tablets & definently notice a better difference that way.
Do u think that baking them for 10mins @200 degrees will deplete any of the eggshells minerals at all?
No, it is such a low heat and short time it should not hurt the nutrients
