Happened a few times, as recent as yesterday. Go to collect the eggs, and one or two are broke, in the nest box, on the floor, even outside. Don't really know what the problem is. Any clues? GILL

Do you have an over-boisterous cokerel in the hen house ? If he chases the hens around in there then eggs may get broken and/or pushed out of the nest .
