Ceramic Nest Eggs, Brown

These eggs do a good job of encouraging my hens to lay in the nesting box.They have also solved a problem I had with a magpie stealing my eggs.

Weighted correctly and coloured for standard brown eggs

Brilliant. At last my hens are laying IN their nesting boxes.

Eggs arrived, well packed and they look very realistic. Put them in the nest boxes and one disappeared overnight. Looked all through the nest box, on the floor of the coop and outside but it was nowhere to be found. I bought them to stop egg pecking but I cannot believe a hen pecked it to pieces and ate it leaving no trace. By the way, it is essential to mark these ceramic eggs to prevent giving them to customers by mistake. Too early to say whether the egg eating has stopped but I am hopeful.Oh dear, mystery solved. Looked through the hay in the nestbox very carefully and found they had wrapped the missing egg up really well in the middle of it so no-one ate it!!

Great novelty

What can I say. Put these in the chicken coop the day they arrived. Next morning I had 3 eggs ( I have 3 hens). Not sure how it works but it did. Very realistic looking ceramic eggs.

I wanted these eggs to mix in with my other ceramic eggs. They look lovely and I have them displayed in my kitchen.

Put in my ducks nesting boxes so it doesn’t stress them out when I remove the eggs.

These are great fake eggs and look very real. I strongly recommend you put some kind of mark on them as my hubby, when he sometimes gathers eggs, almost always brings these up too because he can't tell they're fake. We've now marked them and that has stopped.We initally put these in the nest boxes to encourage the girls to lay in the boxes instead of random odd places like the corners of the coop. Once the gals were laying fine in the boxes I removed the fake egg from one of the nest boxes (we have 3) and noticed that after than none of the girls would go lay in that box! I replaced it, and after about a week they started laying in that box again, so even with girls who've been laying awhile, there's something that draws them in to use the nest if an egg is already there.

crushed powder eggs poor light packing no hope

no surprises

I'm honestly not sure why I purchased these, I was hoping it would stop hens from picking at eggs I guess. I think it's helped the issue a lot, it's certainly encouraged them to use lay boxes they weren't otherwise using and if nothing else that lack of crowding in one box has helped keep eggs from breaking. Anyway, I would buy them again, they work well and look enough like real eggs I had to draw a line around them to keep from accidentally collecting them so they would make for a great prop.
