    We've got an egg-eater on our hands...😤

    My chickens ate an eggs once. I started giving them raw hamburger and I put powdered calcium on it. I haven't had a problem since and my eggs can be dropped and all they do is dent a little 🙃 your chickens may be missing something in their diet and that's why they are eating eggs
