I have a Salmon Faverolle hen that has been eating her own eggs (nobody else's, just hers) for at least 5-6 months...she went through a phase of shell-less eggs, which started the problem, her shell quality is much better, though still a little thin, so it's still easy for her to break through them. I was at my wits end, and was having the dreaded "do you want to sell her or eat her" conversation with my son...anyway, through a suggestion I read on here, I filled an egg shell with liquid soap, sealed it up with wax and gave it to her...she ate it! I don't think she ate the soap, as the shavings underneath were very wet, but she appreciated the free shell meal...anyway, I have collected 6 eggs from her since then!! I haven't found any partially-eaten shells in her enclosure (she is penned seperately now with her "man" so she doesn't teach the youngsters about eating eggs)...the liquid soap isn't definitive, as I also increased kitchen scraps and greens (just in case) at the same time. But thought I'd share with you all that IT IS POSSIBLE!!!
