I just found where something has been eating my eggs. I think I know the culprit but looking for confirmation.
I believe that I’ve got a rat. All the eggs are opened the same way, in the pic of the egg close up you’ll see two holes on the bottom, I believe those to be teeth marks.
Anyone have a differing opinion or can shed a little more light on this for me?

Is it possible that one of your chickens (I'm assuming chickens) has become an egg eater. Could those be peck holes. Sometime they start with an accidental broken egg but get a taste for it and are difficult to stop.

Possible but these were found 150-200 feet from laying boxes. Yes they free range, so I guess they could be laying out there.
