answer to hens eating eggs

from sarah Matthess (william@matthess.freeserve.co.uk)
I have found that pepper mixed in with the egg yolk doesn't work for ever. They soon get over it. One way is to use something called 'spectacles', don't know what they are called in America, but thats what they call them in the UK here. They are sold for phesants locally, are very small red plastic things that clip inside the nostrils and have 2 tiny shields that don't allow the hen to see right down onto the ground. You can remove them after a while then the hen is out of the habit. Sarah.
