Got back on friday and found eggs either left or smashed and the run continues went in this morning and more smashed, these were supposed to be hatching next week, I know some are self inflicted as I only put couple bowls back in and some birds laid in boxes or on floor and eggs have rolled out

That is very frustrating Buster. You do get a lot of trouble with broken eggs and eggs being left.
Back just enjoying club racing for the time being.

That's a shame, Buster.
Hopefully things will settle down for you.

And that is sometimes the problem.
I needed to make some more stock boxes a couple of years ago, the management was not happy with me putting more boxes up against the back fence, So to keep her happy I built a small shed with 6 boxes in it. Nice and deep, with fronts that can be closed as required.
It keeps my wife happy, it keeps the stock pigeons happy, so everyone is happy. :D

How frustrating for you mate, it is annoying when that kind of thing happens. Thankfully my breeding went fairly well this year although I did have a few clear eggs.
Onwards and upwards my friend 👍🤠
