I have an egg-eater in quarantine right now, in an unused coop/run. After trying multiple tricks to get her to stop, I caught her eating her own egg first thing this morning. After watching this, I'll try the mustard trick. If that doesn't work, she will be next Sunday's roast.

I discovered my rooster eating eggs today. I've suspected for a few weeks. Needles to say he's in the freezer now. It was a hard choice but one I had to make.

Freezer? Please tell me you are not freezing him to death?

Also we take care of the flock. They have a nice big coop and a really big predator proof pen. The eat an organic diet.

In the Fall I feed all my Quail and chicken eggs back to my chickens. But, I scrabble them. In 50 years of raising them I have never had one eat their own eggs unless they were scrambled. LOL

I do feed eggs back to my chickens and only had problems with thoes two When i feed egg shells back to them i crush or dust them up fine and mix it with scratch grains Or i boil the egg and crush mash it into food for the chicks in chick food or scratch grains This way it is discuised but beware it may cause them to eat them later on I don't think its that big of a risk its more soft egg shell and a good old poke that starts it

Often you can catch them too by little balls of mud stuck to their toe or toes lol I wondered what this was and looked it up and yes i seen them eating their egg then seen the toes and video then i knew i couldn't add these two birds to the rest of my egg laying flock And they ended up in the pot
