• Encourages Hens to Lay Eggs in Nesting Box --- When a broody hen sees other eggs, she identifies that area as an ideal place to lay her own eggs. Place these SunGrow wooden chicken eggs inside the nesting box to encourage hens to lay eggs in a clear, cozy area instead of on the ground or chicken coop floor.
• Discourages Bad Habits Like Pecking --- Occasionally chickens may have bad habits such as eating and pecking at eggs in the nest. Before they have a chance to peck at real eggs, place Wooden eggs in the nest box. Chickens will peck at the wood and receive no reward which in turn discourages them from pecking at the actual chicken eggs.
• Use to Test Broodiness in Hens --- If you are unsure whether your hens are broody or not, the 2 packs of SunGrow Wooden Nest Eggs are an excellent way to find out. Place a couple of the realistic looking eggs in the nesting box and wait to see if your hen sets on them. When she does start setting for 3 days or more, it’s time to replace fake eggs with fertile eggs to be hatched.
• Original Colored --- Approximately 2.75” (7cm) in size, the Wooden eggs from SunGrow are designed to closely replicate actual chicken eggs. Real chicken eggs vary in color; this particular pair of Wooden nest eggs are a light brown color with a hint of red for authenticity.
