Yes! Check your coop for eggs multiple times per day. The more you let your chicken eggs idle about – the easier it is for something bad to happen to them. They can get scratched, cracked, damaged, or stolen by predators. That’s another reason we recommend that you scan for eggs in your coop frequently. Rats, mice, snakes, and other scoundrels want to eat the eggs! In some cases, leaving one egg in each layer box can help chickens become more productive. We've found this is the case in particular with new layers, or point-of-lay hens. Having an 'example' egg shows them where to lay, and seems to encourage them to follow suit.
