Six Tips On Breaking Your Egg Eater

I found this very informative in my search of ways to stop my egg eater.
Great information. Thank You!
tried the egg with the mustard - they loved the mustard ate it all in no time. Rolling nesting box inserts seem to work once they accept going in to this new device.

This article is what I was looking for! Photo is the second time I've found just yolk. I've had 2 hole poked eggs this week too. I'm going to assume I have hen doing this?

Those are some great ideas, thank-you!

Mine just started eating softer eggs recently, but now I believe they are eating more and more, and there's a total mucky mess after they eat.
Мне очень понравилась ваша статья!
Буду оставлять ваши советы другим птицам у кого есть расклев яиц.
Спасибо

Excellent advice, but the most effective way to stop an egg eater is to have her for dinner.

Great article and excellent advice.
Very good article. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
This is timeless and so interesting.
Busted 3 out of 5 of my flock in corner this morning, egg on faces. As the girls have litterally just started laying this week I know the shells are slightly weak. Boosting the protein and trying the egg bombs!

I have just tried the egg filled with dish soap on my Mother in Laws old maltese cross shitzu. Hes been an egg eater as long as he lived with her (but she never told us that when she sent him to live with us) and the absolute disgusted look on his face! he doesn't look like he'll be going near the coop for awhile

I wouldn't try removing nesting material in my laying boxes. Otherwise, I liked the article.
Just eat the egg eater. Works every time and quit tossing eggs to your protein starved flocked. Management.

Egg eating can be very difficult to stop. Another way to increase protein is to give them growers pellets but be sure to have plenty of oyster shell available.

Articles saving grace is the instructions on prevention. Those are actually the best instructions for stopping egg eating.

Pecking an egg to see if it is good for hatching is normal hen behavior. Also normal is eating the egg if it breaks.

It is simple but can be hard to do..in order to stop egg eating, fix the egg shells!
