Hi Carolyn,
You must crush the egg shells into tiny pieces so the martins will be able to
easily swallow them.
This supplement meal must be placed near the entrance of the door through which

go to enter the nest apartment. You or someone must rig a temporary platform if
there is not a porch
near the entrance doors.

Hello Adolph,
We are one of the Purple Martin landlords also- a little further up the valley
in Front Royal at the National Zoo- now called Smithsonian Conservation Biology
Institute. How do you offer the egg shell for the birds to discover and eat it?
