How To Prevent Dirty Eggs in the Chicken Coop

Excellent information! Thank you for passing this on!
In a side note: I have one Easter Egger that was severely injured by a fox - she now has no Achilles’ tendon in one leg, so she hops and doesn’t jump. She sleeps in a nest box nobody else uses, so I just clean it and leave her alone.

Very good info, but I've never had a broody hen soil her nest. In fact, a good broody is probably the cleanest hen you're ever going to have.
Good information except for :
  1. Broodies don’t poop in the nest when they behave naturally. They keep it up and make a huge poop when they leave the nest once a day.
  2. If you move a broody with her eggs, its very well possible that the broody leaves the eggs and returns to her original spot.
  3. Finding solutions with eggs that roll away is not necessary if the shells are hard enough. Imo, giving oyster shells and egg shells on the side is a better way to prevent broken eggs.
Nice information.
