It's possible that your poultry/waterfowl are eating their eggs. But of course it could be other causes. Few questions, How do you know the eggs are being eaten? Are they half eaten when you find them or all eggs gone?
Do you ever feed eggs back to your flock?

I don't know how secure you coops are but this is what will eat eggs here: rats, opossum, raccoons, dogs, fox, weasels, chickens...

thing is, a lot of predators would eat the birds too..! I think eats are a strong possibility though. Perhaps even small snakes? Depends on the pen's security.

and the insides eaten?
Do you ever feed eggs back to your flock?
Is the pen secure from rats/foxes/raccoons etc?

I'm going by memory but that sounds like a skunk. When a possum eats eggs they tend to smash them into bits of egg shells. When skunk eats eggs they are much gentler, the nest often looks like a broody hen had just hatched some chicks. The eggs are in halves and have been licked clean. I can't remember how raccoons leave the eggs.
