They are eating their eggs. Help me stop them.

I have noticed that my hens are eating eggs and I was told they may need to have their beaks trimmed and it will stop. This is the first time I will be doing it. I am looking for some advice thank you.

Unless chickens suffer from cross beak, it is generally not necessary to trim their beaks. Can you post pictures?

They started eating eggs, I was told if I trim their beaks this will stop. I do notice their claws are growing and starting to curl, so maybe they aren’t wearing down. I am going to add in some cement/brick/rocks for them.

There are other options than trimming beaks to stop them from eating eggs like adding ceramic eggs to the nests. they will peck and notice they can't get in them and stop.

I am going to get some, I see wooden and ceramic available. Would they produce the same results?
