Broody hen ate her own eggs??? OMG!!!

That would certainly be my suggestion! Any evidence that she had the vice of egg-eating before she went broody? Some chickens can be downright sly about it. Almost like they know it is perverted. I would be concerned that she will teach others that nasty little habit if you keep her.

Sorry that happend. You can try her again as a broody but if she does it again I would definatly take her OFF the job of raising babies! Maybe rehome her, eat her, or just keep her if you really like her but away from eggs!

Sorry I can't offer more advice...Good Luck though!

I think that would be a little too harsh.

I would never eat a hen just because of that maybe she doesn't want to be a mother

She's really rare. Most of the time when I order white Frizzled Cochins, I get the regular white type. She the 1 in 200 that has this trait so no, I'm not going to sell or eat her.
