Do I still use the ceramic eggs after they lay?

Only issues with leaving them in would be people collecting them with the real eggs.

This is why I used golf balls, like several others. An additional advantage with golf balls is the dimpling makes it possible to ID a golf ball vs an egg without even looking, so I can put my hand under a hen and feel for eggs.

Yes, this.

I can rummage around under a broody to pull out eggs and leave the golf balls behind.

I had golf balls before. Found these wooden eggs and they look just like a maran egg. So good clean fun. Haha
