Unsecure chicken perches

[Rellakins]

Please can anyone help? I need to find a rollaway nest box that fits the omlet cube. My hen is eating her eggs, tried egg filled with curry and mustard and pottery eggs plus full nest box with hay but nothing working. She has had to be isolated which will make her bored and she will prob continue if I can't find a nestbox to fit. Any help would be really appreciated

I did have this problem ...

How long has it been going on for ? Is she getting enough food she needs ?

Two tips I have read is to make sure that they always have fresh cold water available, as it is commoner in hot weather, and to darken the nest box so that they can't see the eggs. Hens don't have brilliant vision when the light drops below a certain level so this shouldn't be too difficult.

You can darken the nestbox by hanging a plastic bin bag cut into strips around the nestbox - they soon work out how to walk through it.
