Ceramic eggs have been used by chicken keepers for many years. Here are a few examples on how to use ceramic eggs with your flock:
Want to teach your chickens where to lay? Simply place the ceramic eggs in the nesting boxes when your chickens are about ready to lay eggs. Pro chicken keeping tip: write the word "fake" with a permanent marker on your ceramic egg. My mom was staying with us on the farm and I forgot to tell her that I put out ceramic eggs. She collected them all up and tried cracking them on the counter!
Want to discourage an egg-eating chicken? Simply place a few ceramic eggs out in the nesting box. Again, see the pro-chicken keeping tip above!
Want to encourage a hen to go broody? Ceramic eggs are a great way to entice your hen to want to be a momma! Once she's sitting, you can swap out the ceramic eggs for fertilized eggs.
