Poultry Problem help!

[animallover1000]

Ok so I have a 1.3 year old buff orpington that is eating her eggs. I kind of make most of my money off of eggs so this is a problem to me. She's really skinny and is only in a chicken tractor with three other chickens. So I don't really understand why she's so skinny. She's also my most agressive chicken over feed but lately it almost seems like she won't eat. Ive tried the "hot sauce egg" and she ate the egg anyway as well as the hot sauce while the other chickens were sneezing. If you have any suggestions please post. Thank you!

I can't explain the skinniness, though the egg-eating habit is probably caused by nutrient deprivation. You might try to give her an extra source of calcium, as, in my experience, that tends to be why they do that. Of that doesn't work then blinders are an almost fail proof method of breaking her habit.
