I have two nest boxes and four hens. Every week, several eggs are smashed in the nest boxes. Do they need more room, or what? I give them oyster shell and pine shavings in the boxes.

This is excellent advise do not get me wrong. That being said their are times when chickens (especially with advancing age) there is no cure for thin shelled eggs is my experience. That can happen anytime after their second birthday.Are you feeding them layer pellets as well as offering oyster shell free-choice?
