How I did it was very simple, I took an egg coverd it in veg oil. Then made a hole in the egg and tried to fill as much pepper into the egg as I could. Then rubbed pepper onto the outside of the egg. Put the egg into the run and left it a couple of days. The chickens will go and have a look, but will not eat it. That stopped mine from eating any of the eggs
