For the first time in my nearly 70 years I have a hen(s) eating 2-3 eggs daily from a mixed flock of 15 (Legbar & RIR) that are 18 months old... I've researched the problem (ie. ceramic nesting eggs, increase in calcium, etc, etc....) to no avail.... First I need to figure out who the troublemaker is.... I'm about to try filling blown out eggs with mustard & blue food coloring but I don't hold out much hope.. My coop is wired with 110, so I've given thought to a camera for observation.... I'm really frustrated & kicking around the idea of getting out of the chicken business after all these years....
