HELP!

[KyleD.]

i crunched up the egg shells from breakfast this morning in my laying crumble for my girls, two of them had already layed and i collected the eggs, the other layed and all 3 immediately ate it.....what should i do?

Did they eat their eggs? if they ate their eggs feed more oyster shells or put in some golf balls to occupy them some.

the first two didnt. they half way ate the crunched up eggs. the last hen to lay ate her egg. i collected the first two eggs as i was feeding.

naughty birds!!! i have no idea what to do!

Move the nest up higher so it isn't so assaable for the hens to see the eggs. Also make it as dark as possible. It is a hard habit to break.

 

[KyleD.]

okay thanks! i'll try that!

I wonder if "peepers" would help stop an egg eater ...

 

[KyleD.]

peepers?

take the last hen out before she teaches the other 2 bad habits.

I don't think there's a relation between crushed shells and egg eating.
