Put in my ducks nesting boxes so it doesn’t stress them out when I remove the eggs.

I bought this product so my new hens would learn to lay their eggs in the nest boxes. I had to put my initials on the bottom of the faux eggs because we were getting confused with the real eggs by sight discrimination. Incidentally, I was also having trouble with black rat snakes getting into my coop to eat the eggs. I removed two on two separate occasions and was just waiting to find another snake in there. Instead, I am missing a faux egg. I don't like the idea the guilty snake has died, but am more peeved I am out an egg. Take that to the bank....even wild snakes can't tell the difference these are faux eggs. I would buy several more packs if the price was just a bit lower. But with all this being said, I won't bother searching for another faux egg and just buy one when I really need it.

I was skeptical about whether hens needed a fake egg to inspire them to lay. For years I never had these fake eggs and didn't think I would need them. BUT I am much wiser now!First, I had new young hens who had not started laying yet. They were old enough to lay but week after week, they would not lay. (My elder hens had molted so nobody was laying.) After placing the fake eggs in the nesting box, the young hens figured it out within a day or two! All three started laying at that point.Secondly, now that all 5 of my hens are laying, I figured the fake eggs were unnecessary, so I took them out of the coop and set them aside. But with 5 laying hens, only two nesting boxes can get crowded sometimes. One day I realized that one hen was squawking up a storm and it seemed to be because the "preferred" nesting box was occupied. Why doesn't she just use that other nesting box, I wondered! It's identical and yet she won't go in there and lay her darn egg! So I tossed a fake egg into the "other" empty nesting box. That did the trick! She went right in and laid her egg! So having an egg in the box really does make a difference to some hens!Lastly, I've noticed that the hens will go to great effort to move the fake eggs from one nesting box to the other. I put one fake egg in each nesting box and a hen will spend 20 minutes moving a fake egg from one box to the other. OK. So I tried putting only one fake egg out -- in the less preferred box. On this day ALL 5 HENS laid their egg in that ONE nesting box because they all wanted to lay where there were already eggs. The "preferred" box was empty and even though they ALWAYS prefer to lay in that one box, NOBODY laid an egg in the preferred box because it was empty! So apparently it makes a difference for all 5 of my hens: they all want to lay where there is already an egg.Having learned from these experiments with the fake eggs, I will now work to have one egg in each box!!

I'm honestly not sure why I purchased these, I was hoping it would stop hens from picking at eggs I guess. I think it's helped the issue a lot, it's certainly encouraged them to use lay boxes they weren't otherwise using and if nothing else that lack of crowding in one box has helped keep eggs from breaking. Anyway, I would buy them again, they work well and look enough like real eggs I had to draw a line around them to keep from accidentally collecting them so they would make for a great prop.

These are great fake eggs and look very real. I strongly recommend you put some kind of mark on them as my hubby, when he sometimes gathers eggs, almost always brings these up too because he can't tell they're fake. We've now marked them and that has stopped.We initally put these in the nest boxes to encourage the girls to lay in the boxes instead of random odd places like the corners of the coop. Once the gals were laying fine in the boxes I removed the fake egg from one of the nest boxes (we have 3) and noticed that after than none of the girls would go lay in that box! I replaced it, and after about a week they started laying in that box again, so even with girls who've been laying awhile, there's something that draws them in to use the nest if an egg is already there.

These mostly work. My hens were pecking at and eating their eggs, so I bought these. The hens still eat their eggs occasionally, but it's far less frequent. The color is a little lighter than my rhode island reds lay, but they can't seem to tell the difference. The paint is chipping off in spots, I'm guessing that's because the hens try to eat these sometimes, too.

I originally got a dummy egg at my farm supply to slip in with our birds' eggs to mess with my better half. They just weren't realistic enough though. I'm thrilled to report these are!!! First off they are slightly lighter in weight than a real egg. Only enough that one would have to be looking for it to notice. The real test- I slipped one of these "eggs" into the laying boxes. It got randomly collected and put in the egg basket. Now the waiting game started. For days I eyeballed that ticking time bomb of joy on the counter. One morning I had all but forgotten of my mildly evil sceme when I heard the screaming. It dawned on me that my plan was likely to blame. See my wife had one of our kids helping her fry some eggs. Being my kid, she was absolutely determined to get this "egg" to break. My wife upon witnessing this however thought it must have an unhatched chick inside (I really didn't see that coming, we don't even have a rooster). Well my wife freaked. See she had to stop this before what she thought was going to be an absolute horror show unfold as an unhatched chick, possibly still alive, spilled onto the hot cast iron, by her child's hand no less. The screaming stopped once she heard my tearful uncontrollable laughter. Then the other kind of yelling started. I was laughing so hard it was difficult to hear well but "heart attack" and "someday" were in there. Note- Said child apparently returned the "egg" to the basket and yes these can withstand boiling though they do float. I'll no doubt slip one into a carton to be given to a friend or neighbor soon. Well worth the cost of admission.
