How to stop hens from eating thier own eggs. My chickens accidently broke thier eggs and they were curious, so they nippled at it and they thought it was tasty. So they kept eating raw eggs on and on and on until I grew tired about it. My friend told me this.

1. Poke a hole in one of your hens eggs.
2.empty all the yolk.
3.fill it with mustard.
4.place the egg inside your hen house and wait for the hens to eat it.
5.

If you want, you can stare at the hens when they eat it. I did, and when they did, you should've seen the look on thier faces! First they nippled at it, gave me the

face and sneezed and wiped thier beaks on the floor! Ha!
 
Did this actually work? I was coming online tonight to ask this exact question. We were getting 8 eggs a day...and now only one or two. My husband things one of our "older" chickens are eating the eggs again- our "babies" were laying everyday- so we should atleast be getting 4 4 a day! How do I make them stop!
