Today and yesterday I went down to my broody ducks nest and noticed egg shells outside of the nest and broken!?

I went down to my ducks nest and found broken egg shells two days in a row!? Do you think it was the mother that did this or something else? Has anyone else had this problem ever?

Where is this nest?

Unless the nest is in a protected coop, sounds like predator to me - raccoon, snake, rats.
