Hi. We are having an egg pecking/eating problem between our 7 birds. We have 4 pullets that are just starting to lay, and 3 older girls (maybe around 3-4 years?) who still lay every now and then. I walked into our coop today to find 2 out of the older birds eating 2 freshly laid eggs in one of the egg boxes. I was pretty bummed because I think it was my first Green Queen's egg and was a bit smaller than normal. Anyways, this has been going on for a month or so, does anyone have any tips on how to stop them from pecking/eating the eggs? I have given them some oyster shell every now and then. I live in California, so the cold temperature should definitely not be the factor for this. We are just starting to warm up to the 70s this week.
Someone help lol. Would hate to have my first pullets' eggs go to waste.
