HELP! One chicken is laying her eggs from the roost!

[rooster47]

I have 5 Isa Brown chickens - 8 months old - and 4 of them are sweethearts, laying their eggs each day in the nesting boxes. ONE of my naughty, stubborn chickens is laying her egg right off the roost and it's dropping directly on the poop board or floor and breaking and then they eat it, sometimes the whole egg is cracked or only partial eggshell is left. She refuses to lay in the nesting boxes ( I have 4). Anyway, I tried a netting to catch it but that didn't work (the netting stretched and the egg dropped on the poop board and broke).
I hope someone out there has a suggestion on what I can do. I'm getting frustrated. Thanks a million!

Hi I'm posting to keep this up top! I hve 1 hen who only does that when it's too early and she can make it to the nest boxes..... But she usually lays during the day in the boxes.

Maybe she's jut to lazy to get up in the middle if the night to lay her egg properly? Hope someone helps!
