Egg eater?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

I have been getting 1-2 broken eggs each day.  There isn't a shell, but the other eggs are smeared in yolk.  I've been collecting a few times a day thinking maybe they are getting broken during the "nest box fight".  Yesterday when I went down I caught a RIR with yolk all over her beak and she ran away from me with the shell.  Do I get rid of her immediately?  When she ran through the yard, the others became interested in what "treat" she was running with.  I got it from her before anyone else did.  Suggestions?  Roll-aways are not an option.
