Hens Eating Eggs. Help!

Thanks everyone. I stopped giving them corn. We will give them corn and scratch once a week as a rare treat. I checked my feed and its 16% protein only 2 % calcium.so that ok.i have also let my small chickens out and they are mingling with the old ones. The chick kids are all different ages and all different breeds too.one bantam roo and one what they call the gentle giant roo. Lo behold my mini hen that eats eggs is terrified of the small bantam roo. He has it in for her and will take any beating from my mini hen's ( her name is Blondie) husband. So now she is hiding under my daughter's play house and completely forgot about eating eggs.so did the other one but i think its the presence of so many new chickens.i hope it will make them forget for good but i will definitely get the egg layer as soon as i can. For now i gave them some tuna and some leftover sausage.lets see.

We have never had any problems before but thank you for your suggestion.

This is our old flock we had 30 but hawks and coyottes are all around us. We have a beautiful rose/pea comb rooster who is a bit of a jerk to my baby girl.
