Advice: so I have a newly laying hen who is pushing her eggs out of the nesting box. She was sold to me as Auracana, but she's obviously just an Easter egg layer. She has already broken two eggs because of the fall. I caught her today before it got broken. Why might she be doing this?
 
I don’t know what the nest looks like but try raising the lip a couple of inches to make it harder for her to push them out. Sometimes they scratch in the nest and accidentally kick them out. The bedding can get scratched out too.
