Hello

Ingredients

1. Two standard size chicken eggs
2. Ready made bread crumbs
3. Cod liver oil
4. Safflower oil or Wheat germ oil can be used insted of the Safflower oil both just as good.

Take your two eggs and place them in a pan of boiling water.
Boil the eggs between 15 to 20 minutes. If you boil them for to long the yolk tends to go black

After the eggs have finished boiling,
peel off their shells and place the shells on a dish.
Put the shells in a microwave and set the microwave to high,
then microwave for 5 min's.
This will make the shells go hard and brittle, ready for crushing.

Back to the eggs, now you have peeled the eggs, let them cool down
completely for 30 to 45 min's or you could leave them in a pan
of cold water to speed things up.

While the eggs are cooling we now have time to crush the
egg shells. Place the shells in a bowl and with the end of a rolling pin
start crushing and grinding the shells into small flakes.
I try to get them down to 1/8" flakes and smaller,


O.K. now we have the crushed shells, keep the shells in the bowl and roughly chop the eggs into the same bowl.
Take a fork and start mashing the eggs and shells together until you have a fine crumbly mix.

After all that hard work mashing the eggs down to a nice crumbly mix
we now need to add the two oils. I must say at this point Don't add
to much oil or the whole mix could go wrong.
Use 3/4 of a teaspoon of cod liver oil and 3/4 of a teaspoon of
safflower oil is ample

With the two oils added start to mix the oils in the egg food The oil's also help to revent the egg food from drying out to quickly.
