Make sure they have grit and oyster shell at all times, also try changing their feed as well.
If thats not it then there may be one that likes to lay in a particular spot where the egg cracks on a hard spot in that nest box or whatever the spot is they lay, once an egg cracks any of them will eat it. The perp isn't a lost cause by any means, once you get the deficiency solved it or they will stop eating the eggs.
I put squares of indoor outdoor carpet in my nest boxes and that stopped the egs from cracking on the wooden bottoms, the straw I had been using would get scooted out exposing the wooden bottom, when they laid the eggs either they dropped too far and cracked or the birds themselves would put too much weight on the egg and crack it. That stopped mine from eating the eggs and they were well into the custom, lol.
