The birds were just given to me as my dad was friends with the man that had them. I think the shell was thin I'm not sure, sorry. I'm testing them now to see if one will eat and egg I put in the coop, one pecked at it a bit but didn't break it, could she be the culprit?
Could be.
Did she walk away when it didn't break?
Thin shells are often the reason they eat eggs,
it's more of a 'bad egg' problem than an 'egg eating' problem.

I had to cull a thin shell layer this year, those thin shells definitely garnered the attention of the other birds and several actively searched for them to eat.
Once I got rid of that bird, I had no more 'egg eating' problems.
 
After i put an egg in and watched Rose came over and pecked at it a few times but didn't break it and gave up. Do you think she's the egg eater?

Only time will tell.
Just gather eggs are frequently as possible,
give them a good balanced diet,
and hope for the best.
