These high quality kiln-fired ceramic eggs look like the real thing. Place dummy eggs in your nest boxes to encourage laying or to train chickens on where to lay their eggs. Dummy eggs also help keep chickens from pecking cracking their own eggs. Chickens naturally peck the egg in the beginning so when they lay their own, they will have no desire to peck the eggs. These eggs can also be left outside the coop to deter snakes from eating the real eggs. Eggs can also be great for decorating or art projects.
