chickens eating their eggs

why do my eat their eggs

the developed taste for eggs! To make them stop you need to put golf balls in their nest or fill an egg with mustard! they hate mustard. To do that make two small holes on each end of the egg, blow out the egg yolk. then fill it with mustard. hopefully they will stop soon ! You will need to find out which hens are eating them , maybe seperate her from their nest ?

i've been racking my brain trying to figure out which chickens were eating the eggs.. searched the yard even my neighbors yards.. and guess what... they hid the eggs.. i found a treasure chest full of them this morning... in the most unlikely place. REALLY make sure you check every inch of your yard.. they could be anywhere!
