Remember this sassy pants??
She was caught red handed eating the eggs! 😩😡 I’m over here thinking “oh, it’s getting cold. The girls just aren’t laying as often.” But then I got suspicious when, out of 22 chickens, I didn’t get a single egg for 4 days straight so hubby set up a camera and she tripped the motion sensor 97 times in 9 hours!! 😂 We do have fake wooden eggs in most nesting boxes, but what other tricks do you guys recommend to break that habit? I’m now currently keeping her in jail (the brooding area) with 3-4 hour visitation privileges in the evening after all eggs have been collected. I don’t wanna cull her, but I also can’t keep her if she’s gonna keep doing that. Help!
