my chickens are pecking holes in their eggs

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Freedom! self reliance : One Thread

My 3 year old flock (down to 4 chickens) have developed the habit of pecking holes in the eggs they lay. I go to collect eggs and they all have holes in them or have been completely squashed. How can I change this behavior? Thanks.
