Hi Mrpeabody, yep Snowball is spot on, some Poultry will turn to eating eggs as a supplement for shell grit. If you are offering Shell Grit, then you can try "Egg Droppers" as you already have raised nests this will be quite easy for you (provided they are raised high enough) simple make a hole in the bottom of the nest JUST large enough for the egg to drop through. Under the hole place a container filled with straw or cotten wool, this will catch the egg as its laid. The egg will not brake because as you know they are laid soft and shell harden within a couple of minuites. This will also help brake the Pheasants habit of eating them as they can't get to the eggs. Make sure the container under the nest is deep enough so the offending bird can't reach the eggs before you.
Hope this helps?
Thanks
