I need help! The past few months one or more of my chickens has been pecking open the eggs. I lose on average 1 or 2 eggs a day to whomever the culprit is and when I'm only getting 3 or 4 eggs a day anyway its killing me, I don't have eggs to spare. I started gathering the eggs 2 or 3 times a day to try to get them before the pecking hen does but I am failing miserably! Does anyone have any ideas? I have a bantam cochin that was doing this months she was broody but she hasn't been broody....would it still be her? I thought it might just be the eggs being too thin but I make sure there is always plenty of oystershell in their coop. I let them out to free range almost every day from 2 or 3 until they put themselves to bed too.
