Mystery egg disappearance

[Chickodee]

I have me a nice little flock of around 50 hens. I have 1 broody hen who I've put eggs under over and over again. So I found an opossum one night and have used my security set traps and done everything I can think of. Then I got another 12 under my hen and then caught dogs in there if I let my chickens out. Another 12 and I had a 6 ft balck snake. Now im started over AGAIN and I have my hens on HIGH security haven't let them out keep them completely locked down at night. Cant find anyplace an animal could be getting into their coop but I was missing 5 eggs today. Any ideas on what im missing?

What is your chickens' laying situation? Where do they lay eggs? Can you upload a picture of it?

[eggsandhens]

hmm... do you think your chickens could be pecking the eggs and eating them?

 

[Chickodee]

There is no shells or yolk or anything like that in the boxes.

Ok, I am not quite sure then. How many eggs did you get today?

 

[Chickodee]

I got 4 eggs today. Not all my hens are mature. I have approximately 15 to 20 mature hens. I had too many roosters with my hens and this week got rid of a bunch of roosters. I think they was stressing my girls and I haven't been getting a good number of eggs.

I want my babies to be happy and healthy.

 

[eggsandhens]

hmm. I really don't know then. are you sure that there are no possible openings to the coop/run?

The main door is latched. The door on the boxes is SUPER heavy I can hardly open it. I have my hatch door its on a pully system and slides up and down. But there are no places around my building where it shows signs of anything digging in or out.
