Hen Pecking Eggs

[coachhaze]

I am hoping that someone can help me on here. I have an Americauna Cross hen that has started pecking and eating eggs. She has run off one young hen that was broody and "killed" that egg as well. She has exhibited the behavior before. Any ideas on how to stop this?? I have her in a separate cage now, but am worried if i let her back out into the flock she will do the same thing again.

Sometimes there is something missing in their diet. The hard part is figuring it out. I have a hen that starts breaking eggs the second I run out of oyster shell. Good luck. I know how frustrating it is to step into the coop only to find your Christmas present was opened by someone else.
