My narragansett hen lays her eggs in a scratched-out hole in the corner of the roost house. She steps on 1/2 of her eggs and leave a huge turkey talon hole in it. Half of them! Good for the dogs who get an extra treat with dinner, but bad for me who is trying to hatch them!
I let her out of the pen once to lay her egg and she jumped into the hay bale, made herself a little hay-cup nest, laid an egg and STEPPED ON IT. again.
any suggestions to help her out, maybe she needs a better place to make her nest? A special kind of nest box? Are her eggs too thin? I don't think so because i have the darnest time breaking them open when I scramble it for the dogs. But maybe its not as strong as it could be?
