[CHICKENS-101] Re: Eating Their Own Eggs!

 

Something we have had luck with here to actually stop egg eating is putting ceramic and wooden eggs in the box. For hours the hens pecked and pecked with no satisfaction. After a few days of this they quit eating eggs.
Good luck

If one goes in the coop to lay, 3-5 will follow them and just watch them until they lay the egg and then they all jump on the egg and eat it in seconds. My question is, is there anything I can do to stop them from eating the eggs??? I really want to keep them. I know I can't sell them because they will make their hens eat eggs too.
