I think I wasn't using the best feed, I just went and got some new chicken food that i think will be better for them. It's the 16 % layer crumbels. the other stuff was like a mixture of seeds and things. If this doesn't help i'll try the roll away nest! Thanks guys!

I have heard people blow out eggs and use liquid soap, hot sauce, or mustard. You blow out an egg and seal it with wax. But while you are doing that make sure:

a: you always offer oyster shells at this point I would mix some in the feed. Not always advisable, but if you have egg eating couldn't hurt.
b: are feeding layer pellet for the built in calcium
c: pull eggs out ASAP
d: try to make sure others aren't seeing the behavior and following, so keeping it to 1 hen
e: try boiling some egg yolk and offering extra protein.

Good Luck.
