The only surefire way is to set up a camera/camcorder and look on them to see what hen may be eating eggs.

Usually, hens eat eggs because they do not get enough protein. You can feed them COOKED eggs to try and prevent this problem.

If the hens are laying soft-shelled eggs, they need more calcium and minerals in their diet. Try an oyster shell supplement in their feed, or another supplemented recommended to strengthen egg shells. Presented with a soft-shelled egg, some hens who would never think to crack a normal egg do what comes naturally.

If all else fails, the classic way to deal with an egg-eater is harsh but effective: turn them into your dinner instead.

Can you tell the sex of a chicken by the position in the nest when chicken is sitting?

No. UPDATE: Yes, in way you can actually tell, because roosters don't lay eggs and therefore don't sit on nests. So when your chicken starts laying eggs, you know its a "girl" (girl chicken= a chicken or hen, boy chicken = a rooster or cock) Roosters also crow and their combs and tail are most of the time (depends on the breed) bigger.
