[Doyler]

Hi ... I'm a new member & love my chickens but they have begun to eat some of the eggs... How can I stop this habit. Thanks

Egg eating is a bad habit to break and other chickens seeing it will do the same. You might want to investigate "roll away nestboxes," that are made so the egg rolls away and the hen doesn't see it. You also need to be vigilant about gathering eggs as soon as they are laid -
