Rollaway Nesting Boxes - HELP

[cluckmecoop7]

I have a problem with my hen eating her own eggs. I am trying to get 3 eight week old chicks moved in with her asap but I know I need to break this bad habit first.

I am going to try a "mustard egg" tonight, but I've heard of hens that will only eat their own eggs, so..... I'm thinking about building a rollaway nesting box. Could anyone help me with this? Or does anyone have a rollaway nest they could send me for a fair amount?
Thanks! I need to get this problem fixed asap.

It should be fairly easy to build; just a slanted floor and a tray to catch the egg where it can't be eaten. They are sold online (pricey) and there are also plans and videos showing how to build one.

Did the egg eating start when you started integrating the chicks?
