Egg-eating Hens 
Can you tell ine what to do to stop my 
old hens from eating their eggs? I have 
noticed them doing it a little all the 
Spring, hut they are getting worse and 
worse; they eat the white, yolk, and even 
the shell. G. R. M. 
Pennsylvania. 
Retaliate. Eat the hens that eat the 
eggs. This may seem radical, but it is the 
only certain preventive that I know’. 
There are several sure cures for this vice 
that are handy to keep in mind, in case 
anyone asks you, but they are less to be 
depended upon than weather signs in time 
of drought. Filling a blown egg shell 
with mustard, vinegar, red pepper and 
other combustible comestibles and leaving 
them about the premises will not only 
reform egg-eating hens, but will cause 
puppies of similar habits to take the 
pledge, according to tell. A less popular, 
but still standard remedy, is to file the 
tips of the hens’ beaks until they are too 
tender to break a shell. This procedure 
should land you in the county jail, and 
probably would if brought to the attention 
of the S. P. C. A. Another bit of advice 
frequently handed out to the credulous is 
to leave china nest eggs about where the 
hens will peck at them wheu in search of 
bome-canued delicacies and become dis- 
Ihe RURAL NEW-YORKER 
eouraged. That is all right if you don’t 
become discouraged before the hens do. 
My own advice, and, consequently, the 
only advice that I guarantee sound, is to 
turn the flock loose where growing garden 
stuff will distract its attention from ani¬ 
mal food, gather the eggs frequently 
through the day, and watch for the crim¬ 
inal-minded among them with a gun at 
your side and Sunday’s dinner in mind. 
If this interferes with business, give, up 
business. 
Egg eating upon the part of hens is_ ob¬ 
viously the first stage of cannibalism, 
contrary to nature, and a trait only to be 
explained upon the ground of total de¬ 
generacy. ft is a vice likely to rage for 
a time, then be forgotten. While I have 
had trouble enough with it, it has been 
years since it has appeared in any flock 
of mine. For a long time I kept discard¬ 
ed eggshells from my hens as carefully as 
I used to conceal dime novels from my 
parents. Now, if an egg slips from my 
hand to the floor. I kick the remains to 
the flock with all the unconcern of a 
young man paying two ice cream checks 
at the soda fountain. Only the other 
night a careless egg dropped upon the 
concrete floor and the nearby hens gath¬ 
ered about to peck at it as gingerly as 
though it were the first day of April and 
they suspected my integrity. This atti¬ 
tude of studied indifference may have been 
assumed for my benefit, of course, and it 
may be that my statistics of actual egg 
production upon the place are no more 
accurate than some of our civ j reports.
