Thanks for reaching out about Nanu. Was the egg broken in the nest or did she lay it from a perch and fell? Sometimes birds know the egg is not fertile and will break it. Stress might also cause behavioral changes where they break/eat the egg. Maintain a good diet as laying lots of eggs is a huge calcium loss and they need to replenish. Good luck.
