Hen eating her own egg

Thank you and I wont..I was really just stunned and couldn't believe what was going on in front of me..she was like a completely different bird..and I literally blinked and it was over
 
Art the info you have given me is so helpful thank you! I'm definitely going to look into their feed!
 
Ya, sometimes things happen too fast for our brains to react.

Bummer.

Took me a couple weeks of finding wet spots to catch one eating an egg, when I did she was in the process of taking shell from nest and ran out into the run with it.
I chased her down and got the shell. Which told me it was a thin shelled egg.....but I still don't know who is laying them.
Am actually going to isolate a group 4 birds tonite, one of which I'm pretty sure is the funky egg layer, and might be the bird I caught eating the egg.

The eating of an easily broken thin shelled egg is not an egg eating problem IMO...but the thin shelled egg is a problem, can't sell em and they make a mess.
If only one bird has funky eggs, then diet is not the problem, but the funky layer may have a nutrition uptake problem, something that generally can't be fixed.

Am just babbling here...sorry, I have no real answers for you as of now.
