Dogs

This type of predator is slightly different because it has been domesticated, and you would think any dog would be on its best behaviour. Unfortunately, that's not always the case. Dogs will happily munch on chicken eggs if they see them be it daytime or nighttime.

Skunks

If you have ever encountered one, then you know how potent their spray can be. Despite its effect on humans, skunks do not seem to mind the scent all that much. They will burrow under the fence and have a go at your hens' eggs or simply find an unprotected nest to devour.

Opossums

This marsupial is pretty sneaky when it comes to finding food, so they're no stranger to stealing an egg here and there. If they sneak their way into your chicken coop, they are known to kill young chicks or adult chickens and eat the eggs.

Raccoons

Raccoons are clever creatures that have been known to climb trees and knock off eggs from their nests. Raccoons can dig underneath barriers and climb fences to access chicken coops, and they will happily eat the chickens' eggs whenever they find them.

Bobcats

These cats are stealthy, which is why they prefer to hunt at night but can still attack at any time of the day. They mostly go for small rodents but have been known to make a meal out of a chicken and its eggs.

Coyotes

The coyote is found throughout the United States as well as in Mexico and Canada. They eat plants, fruits, berries, small mammals like mice, rabbits, squirrels, young birds, and even chicken eggs if they can find them!

Most reptiles are known as opportunistic hunters, but snakes seem to be the worst of the bunch in this regard! Mostly, a snake doesn't go looking for chicken eggs, but whenever they find them when hunting for mice, rats, and other rodents, they will devour them.
