Egg eater

[Jcmac]

Jc from NY, I have 3 sex links, 1 is an egg eater, i have filled eggs with mustard, soap as recommended, put up curtains, put in wooden eggs, no luck. Any more ideas would be appreciated

Welcome to BYC. Regular egg eating is almost always, caused by poor nutrition or boredom.
What are you feeding? How much space to they have? Do they have a place to dust bath and scratch?

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad to meet you.
I also second @janiedoe's questions. Additionally, how often do you collect eggs and what is your nest box bedding material?

Welcome to BYC. If all else fails, the only guaranteed solution is to remove the egg eater from the flock before the rest copy her behavior.

I go out first thing in the am. It seems as soon as she lays she pecks it open
