I sewed curtains for the two nesting boxes, and the girls seem to like their privacy. Divine, our New Hampshire, is a bit, ah, *big*, and doesn’t fit! She lays her eggs just outside the boxes, in the coop!In regards to the egg eater. If you don't have curtains on the front of the nest boxes, they do help. Chickens won't eat eggs they can't see. If you are collecting often, that really helps a lot. Keep a close eye on the situation is your best bet. Good Luck.
Egg numbers do drop this time of year too.
