I have three hens and one of them seems to be eating eggs laid by one of the others. There are often broken egg shells around with signs of the egg and yolk sometimes inside and sometimes outside of the ark. I have tried to watch them coming in and out to see what is happening but the more I watch them the more they think it's feed time so they change what they normally do. Has anyone found a way to stop hens eating each others eggs?

there are lots of ways from filling a blown egg with mustard, putting a pot egg in the nest box through to buying or making roll away nest boxes

thanks joyfull - what is a roll away nest box?

this allows the egg to roll away as soon as it has been laid and out of the chickens reach. If you have a look at this link it shows a home made roll away nest box, or you could buy ready made ones.
