I will reposition it this afternoon and leave an egg in there to see what happens.

The egg I left in there hasn't been eaten. It was rolled around around a bit but no pecking. They are all asleep now so we'll see what happens when the sun comes up.

Well the egg is gone with no trace but when reviewing the video a chicken knocked over the camera so it captured nothing but shavings. I'll screw the mount in today and see ached gain tonight :-(

Sorry for not updating sooner. Had a very busy day. Left one egg in last night and this morning at 9 it was gone. Not a trace. I reviewed the in coop camera footage. It's kinda crappy since it was in night vision mode but once the girls got up this morning and started moving around they crowded around the nest box and when they had cleared out I couldn't see an egg anymore. I'm really shocked how they eat it without a trace. The other thing that confuses me is how they don't touch the eggs the day they are layed but will eat it the next day. Also, they tried to eat a ceramic egg I left in there and pecked the heck out of it and moved it all over the coop. Chickens are funny creatures. So now...I get to build a roll away nest box. I'm actually pretty excited about it since I love building things.
