Starting to wonder if i have an egg eater....

[redhen]

We have not gotten ANY eggs in like a few months! Why? We have a light on them...
we got eggs all last winter....
My girls arent old... some are last springs birds, and the others will be 2 yrs old this spring....
what else could it be? If i have an egg eater..i'll have to cull my whole flock...

because i'll never be able to figure out whos eating the eggs.

do you find any mess in the nests? shells or sticky messes?

I thought the same thing but mine were molting

 

[redhen]

hi!

Nope..we cant find any mess or anything. I'm stumped...

 

[Dar]

whats your bedding material?.. I wonder if you were to put a light colored towel in your nest go to the dollar store and buy one you can cut up so that if there is egg eating going on when they break the egg it will leave some evidence..

I think I may still have an egg eater.. but i cant figure out who... i go from 18 eggs a day for a week to 8 eggs then to 12.. so its all over the map. But i now have more EE then BSL so i think that may be a factor too i am getting almost all blue eggs now...lol

 

[redhen]

ooh..GOOD idea! I'll try a light towl in their boxes... thanks!

lucky...blue eggs... i havent seen one of them in months and months! I'm thinking chicken and dumplings....
