    Cracked eggs

    Our white easter egger Finaly started laying but she is a menace. She goes in the nesting box and shoves or steps on any other chicken in there till they leave And she will try to kick their eggs out of the box. How can I curbe this behavior so we do not have cracked eggs?

    chicken eating feathers

    oh we got it out but she seems to like to scare us about it now.. twice I have had to chase her down to remove what looks like the end of a feather but turns out to be a piece of wood chip she is holding in her beak like a cigar.
