    Separation is where we're starting, I need to construct a temporary living arrangement for the offender though, which is this weekend's job! We're going to expand their run soon so I might as well expand and improve their nest boxes while I'm at it, hopefully this will all stop the egg eating.

    Good day fellow egg factory enthusiasts!

    Thanks for all the information, it's much appreciated! We'll work our way through those solutions. The chickens all have pretty much free roam of our back garden, most of which is grass. We feed them layer's pellets, but they don't eat it very quickly--we've actually gotten into the habit of...
