Hi! A friend had this problem with a chicken: the chicken isn’t broody - she’s not sitting on the eggs. She’s more like, “If I can’t keep my eggs, you’re not getting them!” She comes running to the nest box anytime she sees us walking up to the coop (so if she’s outside, she comes racing in), and then she starts pecking at the eggs to destroy them before we can get them! We've been trying to close the door to the hen house first so she can’t get in, but sometimes she beats us there.
Any ideas to prevent her from getting to the eggs, and why she is doing this?
Thanks!
