I dunno.

I started out with 25 birds six years ago. Right now I'm kinda low, with only 15, but I've yet to find an egg that one of the birds broke (either accidentally or on purpose).

They won't even try to eat a shell-less egg. It just sits in the nesting box like a little jelly ball until I come to collect it.

I do give my birds oyster shell calcium and their shells are quite hard - maybe this is the reason the eggs are always intact, but I've never even seen them try to peck into an egg.

Perhaps their big mama just taught them well.
