PREVENTION

• Isolate the birds which have developed this habit.
• In consultation with the expert, the quantity of lime stone and protein should be increased in the diet.
• Egg eaters should be kept in a cage in which egg rolls away, beyond the reach of the bird after laying of the eggs due to slope.
• Debeaking also reduces this tendency.
• Darkness in the laying area may prevent his habit.
• Egg collection interval should be reduced.
