Egg eater

Put several golf balls in ALL the nests. They bonk their beaks on those a few times, they'll cut it out.

Do they have free access to oyster shells? I had a big stint of egg eaters last year and we figured out it was due to poor nutrition. We switched to a better feed and restocked our free access oyster shells which solved our issue. I did also put a few rocks in each nesting box in hopes that they would peck it and since they can't break it, would be discouraged. Not sure how much that helped but that's another thing I did.

Yes they have free access to oyster shell with additional calcium. There’s one nesting box everyone likes so I put a couple golf balls in there. They nudge them out once in a while but I move them back. I’m gonna try Purina Flock Raiser cause it has more protein.

I’ll be sure to get more golf balls
