The Mystery of the Missing Egg

[Cryss]

I have heard of blowing out an eggshell, refilling it with mustard, and replacing it in the coop. They don't like the taste.

Mine all love a whataburger with mustard. Or pork roast with mustard.
Shoot!
Now I'm gonna have to do a test now to see if they will eat layer pellets with some mustard on them or maybe even mustard by itself.

Fake eggs - We have porcelain eggs that I put dots all around on the egg with a marker. I heard others use golf balls.

I have those. Initially I had removed them from under the broody but now I put them back to see if they discourage egg eating.

That's interesting! Maybe I'll try that (seems rather difficult though).

We had a broody and no Rooster. She did this almost every year that I have had her and the more eggs for her the happier she is. She wants to be a Mother. Maybe when the chicks start to lay we will let her.
