I have an Easter egger who has started eating the other hens eggs! Like shell and all! I finally figured out which one it was and separated her, what now? They have plenty of space, oyster shells, fresh water twice a day and I hung veggie garlands to keep them from getting bored and out false wooden eggs in. Any tricks to stop her or is she just dinner? :/

What exactly are you feeding?
Is she laying also...but only eating other birds eggs?
How old is she?
 
She's 6 months, she is laying but she doesn't bother her own eggs. She free ranges in the evenings after 4 when I get home but they stay in the coop and run during the day while I'm gone. While they're in the coop they have clean water, layer feed and the veggie garland. It varies what's on it but right now broccoli, Brussel sprouts and a head of lettuce.
 
Give her more protein-animal protein ....and some oyster shell in a separate container.
Often egg eating is a lack or one or both these 2 components.
