    Rooster destroying eggs

    I understand there is no way for him to know. The question still remains as to why is he doing it. Is it because there is another male? This has never happened before and he's about a year old, his son is about 5 months.

    Are those white ones (leg horns) roosters?! They have pretty long tail feathers for hens. I've never seen a spot on the shell, only once I crack an egg open do I see the bullseye.

    My roo won't stop!!

    Good to know about the crowing during the day and yes there is a street light that he might be able to see as well as a bedroom light (coop is right behind the house). Ill see if I can throw up something to block the light and see if it helps. Thanks!!

    Hes youngish, not even a year old yet (maybe 6 months??). His girls - that we got at the same time - are still not laying eggs yet if that tells you anything.

    My roo won't stop!!

    When it is really cold we have a heat lamp set up but it isn't that cold right now so I've been leaving it off for that very reason! I feel like it's gotten really bad since I am keeping it off but maybe I'm just paying more attention.
