My Spotted Sussex, Dottie, is a relatively new egg layer.(About 1 month) She is the only one of my 3 pullets who is laying. Today I found her egg pecked with a hole and a crack. Is she going to be an egg eater?

No..Possibly just got damaged so she investigated it. Ensure you have good nesting material. Straw over a bed of shavings works.My Spotted Sussex, Dottie, is a relatively new egg layer.(About 1 month) She is the only one of my 3 pullets who is laying.

Was the shell thin...and thus easily cracked when pecked out of curiosity or stepped on??My Spotted Sussex, Dottie, is a relatively new egg layer.(About 1 month) She is the only one of my 3 pullets who is laying. Today I found her egg pecked with a hole and a crack. Is she going to be an egg eater?
Ditto Dat^^^Try putting ceramic eggs or even golf balls in your nesting boxes, they will quickly find out that these are just too hard to crack.
Oh, and collect your freshly laid eggs a soon as you can.
