Fake Broodies!?!

[Ranger 45]

This is really starting to make me mad. Ill go down to feed the girls and my white hen is sitting on 3 or 4 eggs acting all broody. Shell sit on them for about an hour and then decide to EAT ONE OF THEM.

After that she gets off the other eggs and joins the chickens out side.

I know it cant be calcium defiency because they allways have egg cumble, they get scrach 2x a day and a heaping plate full of table scraps. Then they have 2 water containers that are always full. What do i do?

I got 2 egg shells that im gonna fill with mustard, egg crumble, haliopenio juice, green curey, ground haliopenioes and ground pepper. So ill lighten up her day with that.
Im still open to any suggestions.

What is 'egg crumble'?
Is that cooked egg with the shell all mashed together? If not, you should add the shells.

egg crumble is a brown crumble that helps chickens produce eggs at a max and the eggs still have the same nutricous value over store bought eggs. i get it at TSC

Think i found the way to stop this. I made an incubator out of an old cooler and im gettin the temp right but idk about the humidity. So ill take the eggs and put then in there for a few days and if i doent get any indicators by lamping them ill put em on the skillet.

You're going to eat eggs that have been in an incubator for a few days?
