Hi BB

Welcome to the forums

I'll pop you over to the Hen House where all questions get answered

Personally I've never had this problem but have heard of people blowing an egg and filling it with mustard

They break the egg hate the taste and so don't do it again supposedly

Are you sure it is the chickens?
I thought this recently and it turned out to be a crow.

Happened to me last year and it turned out it was magpies.
