Re: Egg eater Chickens

Next time round, you should give them oyster shells well before they start
laying.

Help me i have a couple chickens there all diffrent kinds but my
proublm is my bluff orphingting.
She waits tell the other chickens have layed there eggs then she sneaks
into the chicken house
and she peckes open the eggs and eats them. She also eats her own eggs
too. The local farm store said to give them this shell stuff so i did
and they wont eat it. There free range chickens they run around on over
5 acres and only go to there cage at night to roost and during the day
when there laying eggs. Why dose she do this? I wouldnt belive it if
haddnt seen it with my own eyes.
How can i get her to stop?

Chicken soup...

Seriously.
