Hen is eating other chickens eggs. How do I stop her?!

[MarkJr]

Separate first.
If problem goes with separated hen, then try to break her with fake eggs, mustard, etc.

I’ve never had an egg eater. If/when I ever come across one, pretty sure it’d get the ‘soup pot spa day’

Dang it. Is there nothing I can do?

Yep sure is pull out the . Add several ceramic eggs and collect the real ones ASAP

Update:

Caught her this morning eating one of the eggs her sister had just laid. As a result she has been axed. Was not easy for me to do but had to be done.

It’s never easy to do.

It’s never easy to do.

But sometimes it’s best.

A good move before she could corrupt the rest of the flock. Good flock husbandry.

I went to rollaway nesting boxes to cure this. Had to take other boxes out to get them to use the new ones

Yes. We had her for dinner that night. Was very tasty but was very hard for me to cook her. I said thank to her several times. It helped. Good news is no more broken eggs.
