My light brahma hen has always been kind of strange- she sometimes lays her eggs in random places. We think she might do this because another hen has taken her nesting box. Well, today we found her egg right outside the coop. She had egg yolk and egg shell on her face and beak. We found the nesting box she normally lays in had egg yolk/whites on the side. Key detail: all of the actual egg shell seemed to be gone. She had already laid her egg in the yard but was wandering around in the hen house. She is a heavy bird, could she have broken the other hen’s egg accidentally and then pecked at it? We’re trying to come up with any other explanation because we really don’t want an egg eating hen!
