1, providing soft nest.
Hens usually eat their own eggs, because the eggs are broken after birth, which will attract hens to peck at them. Can let hens lay eggs in soft nests, prevent eggs from being broken, prevent hens from pecking because eggshells are broken, and hens will not eat their own eggs.
2. Take eggs in time
For hens who like to eat eggs, they can take them away as soon as they are finished, without giving them time to peck the eggs. Or when it lays eggs, cover it with a laundry basket and let it lay eggs in a dark environment, which can generally effectively avoid pecking eggs and prevent hens from eating eggs.
Step 3 supplement nutrition
Hens eat eggs because of calcium deficiency. Eggs laid by calcium-deficient hens are as thin as eggshells. Appropriate amount of bone meal, fish meal and hydrated lime can be added to the hen's feed to supplement calcium for the hen, and it can also prevent it from pecking eggs and chickens from eating eggs.
Step 4 place sand grains
Hens are kept in captivity for a long time, or fed too much concentrated feed. At this time, hens do not peck out enough stones to digest food, which may easily lead to hens eating their eggs. You can put a basin of sand where hens eat and let them peck, which can help hens digest.
5. Improve chicken coops or cages.
If the scale of raising chickens is not large, you can transform the henhouse or cage. The henhouse has two floors, the lower layer is covered with thick straw, and there is a small hole at the bottom of the upper layer. When the chicken lays eggs in the upper nest, the eggs fall from the small hole to the straw below. After eating, the chicken wants to peck at the eggs, but its neck is not long enough to eat.
