China/Ceramic Eggs?

[Chick_a_dee]

I was wondering if any of you fine folks were interested in cermanics, and produced your own. I need to find some ceramic glazed chicken eggs to warm and use in my nestboxes. My mum had them the farm she grew up in back in England, but hasn't seen them since. They'd put them in boiling water and warm them, then stick them in the nest boxes for new layers.

If you are interested in making some for us, or know of someone, and wouldn't mind shipping to Canada, I'd greatly appreciate it!

I use golf balls.

A lady down the street from me told me about Crackle Barrel having them in brown and white. I purchased some and they look GREAT. I put them in the nest boxes and it worked!! Fools everyone including the pullets. They look so nice in the store that they have them displayed behind the counter. Try their website and see if they have them to purchase online. You will love them too.

I used golf balls also and it worked great, I dont think the chickens would really know the difference.

Ive heard of broodys sitting on soft balls, dont think they are all that smart when it comes to the department !!

I purchased mine from Cracker Barrel too. They look so real I had to mark mine with a marker so I could tell the difference in the ones the hens laid on sight. One made it into my egg basket by mistake and my wife said "this egg feels different".
I knew then what had happened.
