lisa33 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Have you tried putting a rubber egg in the nest. When she pecks it she'll just get a head ache with no yummy inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Put some golf balls or ceramic eggs in he nest so that she hurts her beak when she ries to peck them, and collect eggs as often as you can. You can get rollaway nestboxes so that the eggs can't be accessed once they have been laid too. If you google them you will find them.

H.P Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 we have one who does exactly the same, mind she only eats her own eggs. It's a bit of a pain because the main reason behind getting the ladies was for egg production (and she's really loud and noisy) We have two ex batts arriving on the 27th so hoping she will be shamed into becoming a productive layer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
