any suggestions?

same here - I shake the straw when the birds have left the house first thing to get the big bits off and turn it over - that just avoids some of the muck but helps it's nothing compared to duck eggs , though

Are they sleeping in the nest boxes?
 
If so, block off at night, if possible, to break them of the habit. Uncover first thing.

As Inthehills says break the habbit first by blocking them off at night -upturned plant pots we use. Fit curtains to the front of the boxes so they are less obvious. That will help prevent them returning and help prevent egg eating later -slit rubber Wilkos car mats we use.

I have a LS hen who sometimes perches on the handle of the drinker in the day time ... s**ting in the water!!
I'm thinking of "anti vandal" paint...

Could try a rabbit drinker Little Blue. For a while until the habbit is broken.
