Hello fellow Backyard Chickeners,
Our hens recently have discovered if they peck holes in the eggs they lay, they taste good. Now all the hens are doing it. I have tried Oyster shells but they wouldn't eat them (they were rather large pieces, like fish tank gravel. Thats all the store had) I have filled up an empty egg with mustard and the hens ate the mustard and pushed the egg out to the ground. What do I do? I can't be outside all day watching them to collect as soon as they lay. We collect the eggs daily but they all have holes in them. Please help! Thank You!
