My leghorn is eating eggs

My leghorn is eating eggs out of the nesting boxes. What do I do to stop her? I have osyter shells in a bowl for them at all times.

What are you feeding. Often tie from a protein deficiency.

Put ceramic eggs in your nestboxes so any pecking isn't successful. Collect eggs often. Switch to a higher protein ration, 18-22%, and stop feeding extras.

You could also invest in roll away nests or build your own.

if you have a lot of chickens and it is possible, isolate her so she only eats her own, and also combine that with what others suggest to see if you can break her of the habit.
