Olive Grove Eggs on Nostr: Chickens lay eggs and we eat them. Most days my chickens get their eggshells back ...
Chickens lay eggs and we eat them.
Most days my chickens get their eggshells back from me, to consume for the calcium.
Occasionally a chicken will take to eating an egg,. Usually it starts with an egg that gets broken accidentally. If a rogue bird gets a taste for it you start to notice a decimated egg in the clutch of eggs in a nest box. if you don't get on top of it all sorts of nonsense can play out.
Chickens get yolk on their beak, another chicken starts pecking at it. That can end in a bloodbath.
Not to mention who wants to lose eggs?
Growing up I was told by the old timers, an egg eater must be culled. Don't go that route.
Get a fresh egg, bore a small hole in the shell and drain it empty.
Fill it up with chilli, anything super hot. Leave it in the crime scene. Repeat the next day.
I can promise the rogue chicken will not try eat more than two of them.Cured, Alive and laying like a champ.
