andy9196 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Hi guys haven't been on here for a bit, as everything has been going well with the girls. Last couple of morning I have been to collect the eggs, and 1 appears to have been pecked at and eaten. How do I stop this and how do I find out which one is doing it ?? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 You want to stop them doing that right now . They'll get a real taste for it and it's really hard to break the habit. I had 3 egg eaters and didn't get any eggs for quite a few weeks before I worked it out . Are the eggs hard? If they're soft or fragile they're more likely to have a go at eating them. Limestone flour and cod liver oil is a good way to get more calcium into them. I bought a couple of pot eggs and also smeared a broken egg shell with mustard to put them off. I think I've got them to kick the habit . A roll away nestbox is also an option (I didn't need one in the end). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
