Yeah, I don't think it's an epidemic or anything. My friends raise about 2000-3000 a year and maybe they have one or two egg eaters a year. The problem is that when you get one, the others learn from it and then all hell breaks loose.

One of the funny things they told me about the rooster is that he makes a special sound when he's found an especially great bug and all the hens come running over to get some and he surprises them with, alas, no bug but some of his good rooster loving.

I imagine if they communicate about good bugs they would probably not be able to contain themselves when they tasted an egg.
