Eggsactly...they need some calcium. My chickens free range all the time, except at night, and I still occasioinally give them a sack of crushed oyster shell.

Be kind to one another and tell the ones you love that you love them often. We never know what tomorrow will bring.

Try some meal worms and suet blocks first. I supplement those and oyster shell regularly. In addition, I give my girls old fashion plain oats. They love oats!.

Or you could feed them crushed egg shells. If none of this works, figure out which hen is doing it and cull her.

I feed my hens laying pellets. It's balanced, so no supplementation is necessary. That said, I do occasionally give them treats...meal worms, horn worms from the garden, etc. On of their favorites is fresh yard clippings when we mow, or picked clover from the downhill side of their run. The only broken eggs we usually get are every once in a while, one gets broken against the marble eggs in the nest boxes...probably less than one a month.
Well behaved women never make history.~ Out back Quit laughing...I think I broke something.
Fifteen is my limit on Schnitzen-Gruben, Baby...
I have OCD and ADD, so everything has to be perfect, but only for a minute.

You aren't going to break one from eating eggs. Eggs are one of the most nutrient dense foods on earth. Once they get a taste for them, stretch their necks and cook them.

I'm all about that, but got the kids that think they are pets. Biggest problem is, the culprit is also the favorite. I'm gonna keep supplementing best I can. The wife checks the boxes every few hours. If we can get a few eggs from her, and she doesn't start eating the other eggs, I guess we'll deal with it for now.
