Jerry once recommended trimming the beaks back.  I\'ve been doing that, plus putting ceramic eggs in those coops where I have egg eaters.

They don\'t get much darker than this. ;)
This 5 gallon black Fowl Stuff nest box is available for breeders/fanciers that want to provide their birds with a \"chicken cave\".
Hey Mike...remember suggesting a darker nest box?

Mike Gilbert:
Now that I like John.   And I bet your hens do too.

Beth C:
Great idea! Maybe that would work for my persistent ground layers?

On egg eating, this is from a discussion about a year ago:


--- Quote from: Cloverleaf Farm --- I cured an egg eater with a blown out egg filled with Dawn dish soap, and re-sealed with wax.  It only took once, and now, over a year later, she won\'t touch an egg, no matter how long I leave it in there.

Never tried it but sure got a kick out of reading it! :p
