If hens do start eating their eggs you can stop them! Bore a small hole at both ends of an egg and blow out the inside. Cover the hole with a little tape or something then squirt some mustard in the other end... looks like yolk but doesn't taste good! Can also shirt in dishsoap to look like the white and add hot pepper to make it taste bad. Let the egg in the pen further to peck open! It might take a couple eggs for them to learn but they will stop! Make sure you gather all good eggs asap after they are laid so only gross eggs are left for them to peck open.
