Hello!
I think we have an egg eater hen. Any advice on what I can do to change her ways?
Thank you!

We always add calcium to the feed when this happens. Seems to be what is lacking for them.

She may be needing more calcium in her diet. At peak laying time of the year she may be low. Just a thought.

Just be sure to keep the eggs gathered as often as possible to keep temptation away from her.

Oh I forgot about the wooden egg trick! I am going to try that. Thank you!

I'm so sorry Racquel. Wish I could be of some help. I hope you can get it figured out.

I've heard two lines of thoughts on this... the first is to put wooden eggs in there... and make sure you get your eggs frequently. The other thought is to cull her. Hope you figure out what is best for you <3
