You NEED to change their diet... ... but like said - they may just always try to eat their eggs now...

WHAT CHICKENS NEED (It's simple!)
1. Grains (whole, living grains are way better than cracked, and a mixture is way better than pure corn)
2. Greens (grass! weeds! fresh veggie parings from kitchen!)
3. Protein (in summer, they get enough bugs -- but in colder weather they need protein supplementation, including perhaps the following: yellow-jackets from restaurant traps, soybeans -- see below, worms, milk, meat --- but sea fish is the very best)
... About Protein
Producing a huge lump of protein in the form of an egg every day doesn't leave room for erratic protein consumption.
(so the "meat scraps" that you feed to provide protein aren't consistent enough to provide an adequate amount of protein... most likely why thy are eating their eggs -to get that protein they just laid, back).
