Eggs laid outside of boxes and now getting eaten, help!

I also put our decoys back in so that may have helped a bit too.

I have always kept one fake eggs in each nest, helps 'spread the love'.

None of the others will come very close unless we have food. So the ability to pick one up to put them in a nesting box is probably next to impossible at this point.

Yeah that might not work well then, it could just stress them out and make them NOT want to use the box!
