i have a flock of around 30 chickens (10 egg laying age)
i had been getting 9 eggs per day but suddenly the number started dropping rapidly
now ive been lucky to get one egg a day, and most of the time its broken.
i thought perhaps they were laying out in the field somewhere but never found anything, however yesterday i saw the problem. the girls are eating their eggs
they were all flocked round the nest boxes munching away. i dont know who starts it but they all seem to join in (even the 10 week olds)
how can i stop this behaviour????
