So I have 2 little button females. I had separated them because the white one was being aggressive. They've since settled and the brown started laying again, but she calls incessantly to the white one (or for a mate?) Cleaning out their cages today I realized that the reason the white one has been giving me no eggs is because she's eating them, shell and all! I was lucky enough to find a small piece under her flooring which solved the mystery of no eggs.
My question is this: If I put the white back in with the brown, will she teach the other to eat her eggs too?
I have no intention of mating the white, being aggressive AND and an egg eater means she's going to be going to new home, but the little brown is possibly a broody, I'm just waiting for a chick to mature so she can have a mate. I really don't want to ruin that be teaching her to eat her eggs, even though I worry about her being lonely.
