Eggs laid outside of nest

[mlmac98]

]I have a small flock of hens that I have been raising for almost a year. Two of them lay in the nesting box everyday. The third, however, lays on the floor of her coop and is constantly cracking the eggs in the nesting box. What can I do to solve this problem?

Try puting golf balls in the nest box. That way when she pecks them she'll think they are hard to break and hopefully won't go after them. Egg eating birds are really annoying! I would do it a.s.a.p so the other birds don't start. Let us know how it goes!

Thank you so much! I have been putting golf balls in the nest for two weeks and it has worked great.

Oh glad to hear that!
