Not having much luck

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.

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 👍🤠
