Roll away nesting box

[bendelstate2]

I bought a roll away nesting box, did I waste my Money ? or will it actually stop my chickens from pecking , breaking, and eating their own eggs, I will install the box tomorrow and praying that it works cos I have tried fake eggs but they quickly figured it out as fake

I think a roll-away will serve you well. Hens breaking and eating eggs is a difficult habit to break. Sometimes it takes a soup pot.
Let us see your setup in pictures when you set everything up.

Roll away nesting box set up last week. Not one single egg had been pecked open they are not laying all the eggs in there but the ones they lay in there simply rolls out of their "friking"sight. They also found a favorite spot in the coop, we're they're now laying the eggs, as some of then are not yet used to the sool away, I really don't care where they're laying it at least they stopped pecking and breaking the eggs, I have an existing nesting box, mounted on the outside wall of the coop where the eater pecks and breaks and eats the eggs, so I inserted the rool away tray as you can see, on the attached picture.and screwed it down so it doesn't wobble since then not a single egg has been broken. Every morning an average of 3 eggs are in the rool away tray nice and clean and don't even need to be cleaned, the rest of they eggs averaging 4 or 5 are in various corners of the coop. No need to rush to the coop before the break the eggs, now with the pool away insert I just go to the coop around 11am to collect the unbroken clean eggs.
