I used to like hedgies until I busted them eating eggs from under my hens and ducks. They'll go right into the chookhouse and terrify the poor birds. They seem to prefer fertile eggs that have a mostly developed chick in them, and they come back every night until they have cleaned out the nest or you relocate them. They have a pretty good homing instinct too, you need to take them a kilometer away or they came back (I spray painted a dot on one once to check that it was the same one and boy could it home)
