A friend asked why ceramic eggs are deployed in nesting boxes. to answer this one first has to realize the fact that hens peck at everything - especially new things. We want to make sure their first peck on an "egg" is not fruitful. If hens find the contents as tasty as we do, we will have a problem on our hands.
I guess the easiest way to explain it might be to say ceramic eggs are sort of like training wheels.
