RE: Chickens Eating Eggs. I Solved the Problem

in Hive Pets29 days ago

As soon as the hen laid an egg, she, along with the other hens who went to check the nesting box, broke the egg and ate it, shell and all.

This took me aback. This is my first time learning that chickens break and eat their eggs. But were they starving or something?

Well, I’m glad you found a solution and hopefully they quit the habit completely.

I'm starting to see results from my precautions. While I couldn't collect any eggs before, yesterday I collected 4 eggs from the nest.
