problem with the eggs

[rooster419]

the last 5 eggs i collected all have holes in the one end its from one of them picking it. would it be the hen that layed the egg or another hen in the coop or the rooster. why is this happening? any one have a awnser the my dilema. thanks

It's most likely from another hen using the same nesting space. Eggs will sometimes get a hole in the tops when the next hen rearranges the nest to her liking. Try placing fake eggs in other nesting boxes and see if they will lay their eggs separately. If you are collecting the eggs daily, they are still good to use, but not to sell.
