Any advice on how to stop hens from eating eggs from nest boxes? My nightmare has come true, I can’t believe they are doing this. Background: We just moved last month so that was a bit stressful for the flock. We also have quite a few hens that are molting. I feed Dumor 16% layer feed and supplement with sunflower seeds and mealworms as a treat. They have an enclosed run with plenty of space, but they were free range before we moved last month so maybe that’s another factor as to why they are doing this. My flock is 27 total with 17 hens, 8 pullets, and 2 roosters. The roosters are both being rehomed tomorrow so they won’t be a stress to the hens anymore. I’ve read that once chickens start eating eggs they will never stop but I’m hoping that’s not true. Please help!!
