Great service and product! Highly recommend.
Lou A from Utah
The wooden eggs were just what we needed. The quality of the eggs were perfection. Taught our HENS just what the nest was for, and because the wooden eggs were 'peck' proofed, no issues with them trying to figure out what their first eggs were all about.
Patrick A from Virginia
Works great for training young egg layers where to lay and helps to break any chicken of any bad egg eating habits! Highly recommend, don't waste your time with the ceramic kind that are so fragile and always break!
Norma A from Texas
Just what I wanted. And YES they work. I ordered 4 of these Wooden Eggs and I put them in my hens laying box where I preferred them to lay their eggs, and they are laying their eggs right there. AWESOME! I LOVE IT.

The shell is too hard and yolk not runny enough.
