@miainthegarden: Mustard in an empty shell? Yep, it's a real thing. I've had an egg eater for a year and giving this old trick a shot. Plastic Easter eggs work well. The strong taste of mustard can deter them if they fall for it... but not all hens do. Some figure it out or just don't care (I feel like my birds won't care, lol). It's not a guaranteed fix but it's worth a try. Still, the best prevention? Collect eggs early and often, make sure they're getting enough calcium (like crushed oyster shells), and give them things to peck at or stay busy sometimes it's boredom, not hunger. Will they fall for the mustard egg? Follow along to find out! #ChickenKeeping #BackyardChickens #HomesteadHacks #FarmLifeTips #ChickenProblems
