egg eater!

All the shell and almost all the mustard. She's a clean eater too. No mustard on her beak or feathers what so ever.

Chickens don't have 'hot' taste receptors........so mustard doesn't work.

Huh, I had read it doesn't have anything to do with "hot", just that they hate mustard for some reason (maybe the vinegar) and that it looks similar to yolk so it helps break them of the habit...

If a chicken acadentaly cracks an egg and eats it will it break open its eggs to eat them

If a chicken accidentally breaks and eats an egg will it become an egg eater

Most broken and soft shelled eggs get eaten. Even some that are laid on the floor will get eaten. An egg eater will seek out and break eggs repeatedly. All chickens seem to like the taste of eggs. Mine get fed eggs all the time but they don't eat them out of the nestboxes.

No, not necessarily.

Also if a chicken is out on its own in 20F will it get to cold

If it is in good feather, and has good nutrition and liquid water always available, it should be fine.
