I had the same problem recently. I found that placing a golf ball in the nest helped. Also, the chickens main problem is they weren't being turned loose enough. We have been letting them free range, but after loosing two to a hawk (one being our best layer), no more free-ranging. So, they were put up for a few days while we built a small make-shift chicken run. Then, I caught them in the act. One had a piece of shell in it's beck, the other was eating the white. We hurried and got the chicken run built, and we get 2-3 eggs a day again. Maybe this info will help. Good luck.

Roll away nest boxes help prevent egg eating, the eggs roll down away from the nest so the hen doesn't see them. Put that in the search box and I think it will come up with instructions for making them.
