Alis girls Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 My last Omlet girl lays once in a blue moon and the shells are thin so she eats the eggs. I have tried mustard trick and I think despite extra calcium I will have to accept it. i work so cant keep an eye on her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 Thanks - not heard of these so googled and looked at them. Will they fit a Go nestbox? Thanks Duncan I may well look into this as a solution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
