My chickens caught me off guard and started laying before I had nest boxes up. So they are eating some of the eggs. I'm going to try the golf balls and raising the boxes a little. As a last resort, I have seen recommendations to clip the beaks of the birds. Anyone have a thought about this? Is this cruel? I would certainly try the soap eggs first.
