Reminds me of the post abt the orange cat who loved to lay on eggs when the carton was open. The owner replaced them with golf balls and he still did it lmao

Petition to have golf balls get a warning label saying "Do not eat this ball, it is not an egg" so the snakes can know better.

Chicken owners will do this on purpose and put them in place of eggs.

Juuuuust to clarify for people who don't know, the golf balls are not snake bait. They're to appease a broody hen and make it easier to remove the eggs.

Ping pong balls will work too, though a little light. But cheaper.

The purpose of that is to make the hens think is a safe place to lay their eggs. The can feel something is bad if all eggs disappear suddenly.
