Firstly I recommend spray painting the eggs with a clear gloss sealer for better texture. THey work like a charm in teaching new hens. However, I just found another added benefit with older hens. If I notice that the hens are overusing or bunching up in a particular nest, I place ceramic eggs in the new additional nest box. Like a charm many of the hens will "follow the eggs". They are great!

The girls like these eggs. I bought five eggs for four boxes. One box has no eggs & no one has used that box. Two boxes have two eggs and the remaining box has one ceramic egg. The boxes with two eggs seem to be the favorite boxes.

I have hens that have just begun to lay and they were pecking at their own eggs. Even though I improved their diet and entertainment, I was still having an issue. I bought these eggs--quick delivery, thank you!--and put them in the pen. The hens immediately started pecking but soon gave up. I have all dozen in the pen and they are used to seeing eggs laying all over now. No more egg eating. I highly recommend these eggs and also putting an "x" on them so you can tell them from the real eggs!

Looks so real you have to mark them to tell'em apart from the real ones!

Well, I did manage to break one but otherwise they work as advertised. All of the hens (except one which has her own nest site) follow the egg.
