My chickens have begun to eat the eggs. I feed them well, always keeping their feeder full and the waterer plentiful. Additionally I have a friend who works at a bakery and gives me day-old bread. Each day they start the day with plenty of bread or table scraps, veggie cuttings, and even cooked fresh fish carouses. They love it and eat it all up! But lately the the eggs have been disappointing. I can sometimes find some shell chips in the laying boxes or the remaining eggs are slimy from the missing eggs.
I have read up on this and there are some good suggestions but don't seem very feasible.
Does anyone have a construction plan for a laying box that the eggs can gently drop out of to be stored out of the chicken's reach until collected. Something that can be easily cleaned...
