Placed in a nest box, it encourages birds to use the box rather than laying on the floor or in a hedge, which is particularly useful with pullets coming into lay or after a move to new housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe same dummy egg also helps break the habit of egg eating: a bird that pecks a solid rubber egg gets no reward, and the behaviour tends to fade. Because it is moulded rubber rather than china, it will not shatter if it is pecked hard or dropped on a concrete floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourages hens to lay in the nest box rather than on the floor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps discourage egg eating by offering no reward to a pecking bird\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid moulded rubber will not shatter like a china or pot egg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUseful for settling pullets coming into lay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWipes clean and lasts season after season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaying hens in nest boxes, coops and arks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePullets being trained to use a nest box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlocks where floor eggs or egg eating have become a problem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackyard flocks and larger free-range units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch5\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlace one dummy egg in each nest box you want the birds to use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeave it in place while the habit establishes, typically a week or two\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor floor laying, put a dummy egg in the box and remove floor eggs promptly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor egg eating, leave the dummy egg in and collect real eggs more often\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWipe clean whenever the nest box is refreshed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat\/Type: solid rubber dummy nest egg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePack size: single egg, approximately hen-egg sized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Stockshop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer product code 1004333\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch5\u003eCare \u0026amp; Caution\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWipe clean with warm water and mild detergent, then rinse and dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot a toy and not edible; keep away from dogs and young children\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplace if the surface becomes badly split or gouged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep away from direct heat sources\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Stockshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53889766129987,"sku":"1004333","price":1.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0837\/4452\/2563\/files\/07806.jpg?v=1790148180","url":"https:\/\/animall.co.uk\/products\/stockshop-rubber-nest-egg","provider":"Animall ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
