Thanks everyone! Will scope it out early tomorrow and see if I can find the culprit(s). Will try the isolation first before any culling. I really appreciate the help. -Amy

My SO just informed me it was an egg eating party in the coop this morning. UGHHH! Now what? He said culling would mean half the flock. I have 22 girls and have been getting 16 eggs per day. This is my first chicken experience and thought it was going so well

Really? This would be a first for me. She is looking kinda fat, maybe with dumplings? Seriously though I will play detective tomorrow (no work) and make sure I've got the right girl. What if more are doing it?

Yes, they have been using the nests since the eggs started in September. We got 10 more girls that had just started laying once ours started and I suspect one of them is an egg eater. She seems to lurk around the coop and just looks suspicious. If this is the case, what do I do?

Recently we have been finding broken eggs on the floor of the coop in the morning, two yesterday and four today. Are my girls not finding the nests because it does not get light out as early as it used to? Will a light timer help?
