How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

Eek culling seems a majorly extreme solution when they are such young pullets and it was only the 2nd real egg they'd seen! They have plaster eggs in the nest box which is what they say is good. I'll explore all the other options first!

I would like to go out on a roost here.
I think the type of nesting matirial and your nesting boxes have something to do with egg eating chickens.
I have over 50 hens all different breeds In my layer coop. And In over two years I have not raised a egg eating hen.
All my laying boxes are inclosed except the front and I keep wood chips and straw from coastal hay in them. I clean them a couple times a year and try to keep a good amount of hay/straw in them.
If eggs move easy they would be hard to crack. so if chickens never learn to crack them?
I don't know, I just know Ive been lucky .

14 plus 3 banty hopefully the blue one will grow as she does, she is the runt of ameracauna, she is 1/2 the size of the others surprising how gentle the cockerel is with her

1 today - and I think from maybe the hen that did a weird freaky alien egg for her first yesterday. Luckily it was all safe in the nest box so hoping yesterday and the egg eating incident was a one off! Amazing at least 2 of them (possibly the 3rd too - who knows until they settle down!) have started laying the same week (with a 2 week age gap) as well as one of my silkies going broody - it is all happening here

I had another broken thin shell egg in the community box (where most of them lay) today. They didn't eat it until I tossed it and the shavings stuck to it in the run.

4 today from 14 hens...but weather has been really "wonky" lately and birds just had their coop renovated so lots of changes over past week. Normally get 7-8 per day
