If you feed them "fresh" possibly. But if you do them dry and broken into really small fragments it doesn't seem to. I found that the way most people really get egg eaters is from over crowding. If you have too many hens for your nestboxes, someone will crowd in to lay, break an egg or force someone else to break one, then it's snack time. We've only ever had one or two egg eaters, but we feed them the broken eggs and also the infertile eggs at the end of a hatch (it sounds gross but they do it in nature so it's not like they don't want to). 1-2 out of several hundred in a lifetime isn't bad.
I have had a few egg eating roosters, but they go to freezer camp as soon as they are caught.
