Sorry, @WindingRoad my questions were directed at @darrel99 the OP. For help with your egg-eating hens please start a separate thread.

I bought them and they were young pullets 2 months ago . I feed them purena layers crumbles. they get out of the coop at daylight . I don't see any sign of egg eating.

Maybe some of them are still too young to be laying already. Chickens don’t lay until 4-5 months.
So maybe the ones that are laying are older than the others.

I was talking to the OP also. I wondered if she had an egg eating problem.
Egg eating can definitely diminish one's egg count.

Well I got better news because for the last 2 days I got three eggs a day . The only thing changed was I collected the eggs late in the days. I see they sell fake eggs so some people must believe eggs in the coop will stimulate egg production . I am cheap so I not going to buy a fake egg I just going to change my collection time. hope that works.

I keep golf balls in my nests to instead of fake eggs because golf balls are cheaper and serve the same purpose, but it is not to stimulate egg production. I have young hens nearing point of lay, and the golf balls are there to teach them where to lay. I've used this method before and it works. When they see "eggs" in the nests, they know the nests are a safe place to lay their own eggs. Good luck.
