Faced the fact that your chickens spit eggs? Do not rush to send them all on the soup. First find the cause of such behavior and perpetrators. Believe me, you can still fix it, and we will tell me how.
If the chickens peck eggs, then they lack something like other ways - something too much.
First of all, the "eggs" snaps of birds are trying to fill the lack of protein in the diet. In the summer they could enjoy worms and insects, walking on the street. In winter, there are few such sweets, besides, from behind the cold, the feathers are rarely walking and not long. So you have to correct the shortcomings in the menu.
When frost on -15 street and more, then the chickens are generally sitting in the chicken coop. No activity is one solid boredom. Here are birds and zero masonry from nothing to do. And if in the poultry house, it is uncomfortable, then the feathered also nervous. Because of stress, they eat that under the paw will fall.
Before the same result, it is able to bring too bright light. In such conditions, the feathers are not that eggs, each other will be started.
If the chickens eat only the shell, leaving the internal eggs intact, most likely, they lack calcium. It happens, calcium is enough, it just does not have time to digest. And all due to the deficiency of vitamin D. In this case, the pennate still wants to eat the shell.
Sometimes the reason lies in the character of the bird. Dissatisfied and evil chickens if they do not eat eggs, then masonry tramplets due to harmfulness, hostility or jealousy.
Lack of experience is another reason. Young chicken for the first time demolished or just saw eggs. One accidentally crushed, for the sake of interest tried. Nobody stopped her, and now this thing is in habit.
To correct the situation, you must first find the perpetrators. Carefully inspect all the chickens - the hooligans feathers around the beak and, perhaps, the paws will be covered with dried yolk.
If you did not succeed in finding the wagon ruler, throw into the nest eggs with food dye inside. You can "fill" using a syringe with a thin needle. Soon the traces of the crime will be, so to speak, on the face.
Having reveaning the "riotshchikov", offer them into a separate room on couples weeks.
The first thing is the diverse menu of chickens of protein: with meat-like flour, cottage cheese, worms and arms, insects. It does not hurt calcium in the form of crushed chalk or a seven.
Do not rack food on the floor - do not provoke the birds to peck the eggs. Highlight them feeders. Pumpkin with apples will scratch boring daisies of chickens.
If possible, release feathers to the street. When it is best to do in winter, we told in this article.
If the chickens are closely - expand the chicken coop or make part of the livestock in another poultry house. Separate premises need aggressive or too temperamental individuals.
With bright lighting, replace the light bulbs to more dull or lift them as high as possible and close the plastic. But remember that in winter the chickens should be light from 12 to 14 hours, otherwise they can stop rushing.
Arrange Nests Nests - remove all unnecessary from there, fill them with sawdust, straw. And put them as far as possible from the entrance to the chicken coop, where quietly and no extraneous eyes. You can even cut down the nesting from the rest of the room and from each other, for example, plywood sheets.
You can install special egg collector in the chicken coop. And you are comfortable to collect eggs, and the chickens will not get them. Or just collect eggs on time so that the birds do not have time to laugh.
If the listed methods of results were not given - use the people's ways. For example, replace eggs with dough or plastics. Or pump the contents with a syringe from eggs and fill them with mustard or sharp seasoning. If it did not help - then exactly in the soup.
