If you have chickens you probably dispose of a lot of eggshells. I know I was throwing out dozens and dozens a week until I started looking for ways to reuse them. Luckily there are a lot of ways to reuse eggshells. The shell of an egg is made of calcium, so they make a great calcium substitute for animals, plants and people. They can also be used as pest repellent, cleanser and even toothpaste!
Cleaning:
Clean you hummingbird feeder: because of their narrow opening hummingbird feeders are difficult to clean, but when their filled and sitting in the sunlight for days they can grow mold and lots of other bacteria. To clean, empty feeder and rinse with warm water. Add a tablespoon of crushed eggshell and fill halfway with warm water then shake vigorously for a few minutes. Rinse well.
Scrub pots and pans: mix powdered eggshell and water into a paste and use it like soft scrub cleanser.
Toilet rings: if you have lime rings in your toilet you can also use the eggshell paste to scrub the ring away. Just drain the water from the toilet and rub the paste into the stain with a rag.
