I went threw this with a goose eating our chicken and duck eggs. I started giving them oyster shell that some recommended from this group. It didn't help. The only thing that helped me was eventually giving in and removing the goose. I don't know how you will deal with this unless you can figure a way to do individual "coops". Best of luck.

Subject: [CHICKENS-101] Eating Their Own Eggs!
I have 10 really great hens that are great layers, there is only one problem... They eat their eggs as soon as they lay them. 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.
So, any advice?
Thanks,
Ashley
