egg eaters HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[katrinag]

Remove the one that are doing and turn them into stew. You can also try roll away nest boxes

but you see i dont really want to kill them. i want to try to do all i can before i am forced to do that. and i most likely wont even do that, if i have to i will sell them.

 

[katrinag]

If you sell them let the other people know that they are egg eaters.

Try horseradish; I've never used this method, but I've read that horseradish is the yuckiest thing to a chicken.

Hang in there...keep working at it. I think you CAN get them out of the habit, but it's going to take time & diligence.

 

[chickens~galore]

i will try the horseradish. i just have to get some first. anything else that i can give them that they might not like?

 

[Wynette]

Gosh, I really don't know. I've only heard that horseradish is nasty to them. HOPEFULLY someone else will come along that knows more than I do about this! I'm glad you're sticking with it and giving it your best shot!!

someone else on another thread suggested artificial grape flavoring (like in grape soda).

 

[Wynette]

Gosh, I wonder where you'd get the grape flavoring?

Hey, chickens-galore - you should start a new thread with the topic "what tastes bad to chickens" - that would get you some FAST responses, I bet!

 

[chickens~galore]

allright i will try the new thread thing. where should i post that new thread?

I'd put it in Chicken Behaviors and Egglaying, and I'd put in the narrative message part why you are asking. GOOD LUCK!!
