My solution is to keep a jar that we put shells in. When the jar fills up I lay them out on a pan and put them in the oven after baking something while the oven cools. When they are 100% cool to the touch they practically crumble in our hands. We then crush them up and put them in a large jar to be mixed in with the usual oyster shell and what not. Chickens have no idea they were eggs.
As for the labelling question, I bought my wife an egg skelter as a present. She loves seeing the eggs every day and it is a simple take from the front and add to the back queue.
