eggs eaten in the coop

14 years ago

Something is eating our chicken's eggs. It seems as the egg has been neetly opened to be eaten soft boiled. Then ants get in the nest...and now it seems as the chicken themselves might have eaten an eggs .The chickens are in a coop.

Could it be rats? squirrels?

Thank you for your help

If it was the chickens, they would eat most of the shell too. If the eggs are sucked dry, it's a small mammal.
