Annie has started laying properly now but she must have got a taste for eggs cause now she is eating them !!! What to do dies mustard really work? Anyone had this problem?
-
Once they have developed a taste for eggs it is a really difficult habit to break. I heard someone used a pepper egg with great success, the other thing to try is a rollaway nest box.
All the best

It is my favourite that is laying softies. She has just dropped one on the grass and they have all eaten it before i could get outside. I too am pisssssssssssed off

Oh dear thats a real shame I have been told once they get the taste for it then you dont get many eggs for you lol

I would recommend egg collecting as often as possible every day for a while. This will hopefully remove the allure!
