Fake Eggs in Nesting Boxes-- Good Idea, Nah, or Meh?

[Habakkuk]

We always put an egg in nesting barrels and always have eggs laid in them in them

I get the easter eggs . Around easter time they have plain white eggs to paint , I find that the ceramic eggs are a little hard and sometimes they crack the eggs . I have older hens . so my eggs arent as thick shelled as new ones .

If and when I get started, I saw this as a possible 3D printing project.
