1 of our calico princess is having egg issues. She is almost 6 months old and they all are on layer feed. They all have access to oyster shells and grit. The treats they get are raisins and corn on the cob. They probably get way more raisins that they should have though . she will lay a normal egg one or two days then skips a few days. Then she will act like she doesn't feel well and lay a soft shelled egg in the evening when we are outside with them, she just drops it on the ground. Then about 5 minutes later she will lay another soft shelled egg on the ground. After that she feels better. The next morning there is no egg from her but the next day she may lay a Normal egg. The other calico princess and the 2 iso browns are doing fine.
 
Sounds like she's releasing multiple ovum in a day. Only one egg a day can have a shell applied, the rest have to get pushed out without a shell which is harder. Stop feeding the extra corn, and cut back on the raisins to see if it improves.
