The Egg Eating Hen

[marcus connor]

I walked out on one of my hens today and found it eating a egg so how do I fix this. I have a friend that will take her, but that's last resort.

There are several options you can try. Roll away nest boxes. Blown out eggs filled with something they don't like. Separate her for a few days and the reintroduce her. Put curtains on nesting boxes, and more boxes, more bedding.

I looked at it more, and one of my brooder hens steps on her eggs, then the egg eating hen goes and drags it out and eats it.
