How do you stop a hen from eating her eggs ?

I say put some hot sauce on a piece of bread and see if they eat it.
I was trying to give my one hen penicillin pills, and I took her favorite food- vanilla yogurt and oatmeal, and added pancake syrup, and ground up a pill, and she would not eat it. I just couldn't believe it. So I tasted it, and it was God-awful! Penicillin tastes nasty, and she thought so too.

Anyway, I am finding a broken eaten egg every other day or two. I was thinking it might be that the nest was too busy since there's a broody in it, and each hen lays an egg, and she just rolls it underneath her. So I moved the broody, and the nests are clear. If I find one more broken egg, I'm going to make quite a concoction to fill an egg with. It will also have a bit of blue dye in it so I know who it is.
