Hi! Today I found an egg in the nest box that had been eaten. I don’t know whether it was one of my hens or one of the mice infesting the coop or what. This has never happened before to my knowledge. Either way I need to fix it because we are getting so few eggs as it is.

Possum maybe? I'd say rat but they usually drag the eggs away to eat or stash.
 
Hmm. The coop is pretty predator-proof, so I don’t think it was a possum. I don’t know if we have them anyway. I hope it’s not a rat, we want to put chicks in that coop later this year. 😬
