Broken Eggs!
« on: April 28, 2010, 12:14 »
Hi All

We have had a problem over the last month or so that the chickens are eating their eggs :mad:  I tried the mustard eggs but that didn't work.>:(

We have now adapted the nest box so that the eggs roll out into a channel.

The problem we have now is that the chucks lay in the same place in the nest box and the eggs are running into the same place in the channel and are breaking :wacko:

I have racked my brain but can't seem to think of who to adapt it so this doesn't happen.

Any suggestions would be apprecitated.

could you not put a longer channel on with a gentle slope?
Staffies are softer than you think.
