tinkkletoes Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Hi one & all. one of my 3 year old hybrids has started eating her egg in the nest box. i am unsure if the egg is breaking on lay so it is easy to then eat, or if she is pecking it open ? she doesn't always do it & will not touch any of the other girls eggs. she doesn't do it every egg lay, but i want to stop her. it's been a couple of weeks now. i am not usually around to go & collect the egg before she has had a go at it. so i can't stop her that way. i'm not sure if a rubber egg would help as she doesnt touch the other eggs. she has full access to mixed grit, oyster grit, course mash, mixed corn. treats of sunflower seeds & dried mealworms. my 4 ladies have a large area to roam / play/ rumage/ etc. in so it's not boardom. any ideas anyone ??

The Dogmother Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I'd fit a bumpa bit to her - that'll stop it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
