Hi i have a sussex hen who for some reason keeps pulling eggs out of the nesting boxes, she doesn't break them or eat them in the process but i worry that it is just a matter of time before i do get broken and eaten eggs.
Can anyone help me with why she is doing this and how i can stop her?
 
Some do get vigorous when they are trying to get the nest just right. Is your hen younger, most grow out of it or settle a bit after they have been laying. Not much you can do about it, just collect eggs as frequently as you can.
 
I have a young RIR that does this
... She stomps and kicks all around if there are eggs in the nest box when she needs to lay......???? What's up with that?! Lol
