I have 6 new layers. They are 20weeks old.
Today all 6 layed eggs in the nest boxes in the morning. Later that day in the afternoon when the were out in the yard...I found a soft shelled egg in the grass.
I have found a soft shelled egg under the roost before, but they were not all laying then. ??? Should I be concerned.

I feed them layer feed with a bit of the grower mixed in to use it up. They also have oyster shell available at all times.
 
Young layers are erratic with laying and can have quality issues as their system ramps up. I wouldn't be too worried unless this goes on for a prolonged period of time, or birds show signs of lethargy, off behavior, or other signs of pain/illness.
