Red nick Pheasants eggs

[Auck]

Hi All
I wondering if anyone could help me,
I have seven red neck pheasant hens coming into lay at the moment, (i am in the southern hemisphere) , my problem is they peck their own eggs and break the shells and eat them, before i get a chance to collect them
how can i stop this .

Ringneck pheasants not red neck their in the south.Snip the end of their top beak only until you get a trickle of blood.You may have to do this again in a few weeks as it will grow back.You may also want to add some oyster shells to their pen as they need it for grit.
