Six Tips On Breaking Your Egg Eater

Great article and excellent advice.
Very good article. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
This is timeless and so interesting.
Busted 3 out of 5 of my flock in corner this morning, egg on faces. As the girls have litterally just started laying this week I know the shells are slightly weak. Boosting the protein and trying the egg bombs!

I have just tried the egg filled with dish soap on my Mother in Laws old maltese cross shitzu. Hes been an egg eater as long as he lived with her (but she never told us that when she sent him to live with us) and the absolute disgusted look on his face! he doesn't look like he'll be going near the coop for awhile

I wouldn't try removing nesting material in my laying boxes. Otherwise, I liked the article.

Egg eating can be very difficult to stop. Another way to increase protein is to give them growers pellets but be sure to have plenty of oyster shell available.

Articles saving grace is the instructions on prevention. Those are actually the best instructions for stopping egg eating.

Pecking an egg to see if it is good for hatching is normal hen behavior. Also normal is eating the egg if it breaks.

It is simple but can be hard to do..in order to stop egg eating, fix the egg shells!
