Where did my eggs go?!

[daniel-delarosa]

Went to check on my broody hen, due to hatch the little ones this week, and her eggs were gone. I know them from the mark that I put on them. I dug all around the nesting boxes and no bueno. None of the other eggs were touched that were in the nesting box next to hers. Snake perhaps?

I had it happen last week. I had a silkie on 5 duck eggs. Then one day there were only 4. No sign of it anywhere! A couple of days later, another egg was thrown out of the nest box, it wasn't fertile. I thought snake at first too, then I figured she got rid of it somewhere.

I had that happen with duck eggs. Sneaking fox took them all. Look for any access point. Foxes don't need much room to squeeze in. All I found was a six inch deep hole about eight inches wide. I waited up a few nights and saw the bugger sneaking in through the same hole.
