Yeah, I have found that adding straw definitely helps. We have had the broken egg issue, sometimes happens if their shells are too thin so we addressed that with oyster shell and occasional crushed egg shell.I turned my flat nest boxes to rollaway ones. It hasn't completely stopped dirty feet stuff from getting on eggs. They hated them at first but they're getting better with them since I added some bedding to them.
I did it because of broken eggs daily turns out it was only one older hen, culled her and all's well.
