Someones eating the eggs!

[massiveme]

For the past two days ive gone in to collect eggs and both times the eggs have been eaten. What do I do? Im pretty sure its another bird.

We recently added 4 silkies (i dont think its them), but ive switches from layered pellets to scratch and peck grower with oyster shells on the side. Do you think the change in diet has something yo do with it?

Ugh, egg eaters are so annoying! The best ways to break egg eaters include: putting lots of fake eggs in the nests so hens can't figure out which eggs are real, provide your hens with lots of calcium and protein and hang curtains over the nests so it's harder to see the eggs. Here's a helpful link too. https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/six-tips-on-breaking-your-egg-eater

Sorry that's happening. You sure want to nip that in the bud because if the other girls see someone is getting a special "treat", they'll start doing it too.

Good luck in getting it stopped.
