This is typical of a young hen who is not being careful. Young pullets ofter break their own eggs at first just by moving around but the hen who has laid the egg may not be the culprit All chickens will eat egg that is available from a broken shell, few chickens will purposely break an egg to get at the food and if this is happening you need to cull the offending hen as the others will learn this and you will get few eggs for yourself. One meal of chicken from the "bad" hen will mean more eggs for breakfast in the future.
