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.

As others have said, these eggs are a little light but they were much less fragile than I thought they would be. I used a ordinary brown marker to make an "X" on the ends of them so I could tell them apart from the real eggs. They encouraged my hens to lay in the new nest boxes we have. My broody Buff Orpington hens love having another egg to lay theirs with, and my "I-must-have-another-egg-in-the-nest-in-order-to-lay-mine" Black Austalorp hen likes them too. I would reccomend trying the birchwood eggs from Premier as well.

Look and feel like the real thing. A bit lighter in color, which is fine by me since it allows me to distinguish them from the real ones. I had pullets that wouldn't use the nest boxes until I put one of these in each box. Now they are all laying in the nest boxes. I couldn't ask for more than that!

Best fake egg on the market. A little lighter than real eggs, but very similar in texture and color, they fooled all of my hens. I have different breeds co-mingling, so they are used to laying in a nest with a variety of colored eggs. These clean up very well with a little water and a soft brush or sponge.

Very nice, but also very hard to tell them apart from the real thing . Perhaps you could figure out a way to mark them?
