Thanks everyone! Wonderful ideas! I now have hope it maybe stopped (or the camera and the stew pot) Will try all methods and pray one of these works! Will check in later on our chicky progress!

Our girls have just started breaking shells and eating the eggs (one or two here and there) The girls are not yet one year old and are mostly inside (we live in cold Minnesota) and we have plenty of windows for them to see out. Anyone ever have and solved this problem? Thanks for any advice!

Thanks AMS, Shells for breakfast! Mickschicks

Gotta love peepers! But though hurricane times - wow! Karanleaf - love your avatar! Mickschicks

Thanks Ivan3, you are right - what takes out one and does not go back for more - would a coon though only take the head? 2 years ago our turkey babies(size of small cats) were attacked (in the same pen area but the door was shut and the predator(s) pulled a wing off one and pulled one small turk...
