2 eggs, no shells???

[MissLavender]

So I picked up three new 5.5 month old Easter Egger pullets last Sunday (8 days ago). One of them has laid a pretty blue egg just about every day. The other two just laid their very first eggs last night...but neither of them have a shell. I read somewhere that this is normal for pullets who have just started laying, and that it may take them a week or so for their machinery to work out the kinks. Have you found this to be true?
I have started adding oyster shell in a separate container to their feed regimen, and am giving them BOSS and mealworms for added fat and protein since they're a bit thin. I have never had hens this young before. I am new to chickens and all of my other girls are 2-3 years old. Is there anything else I can do to help support them while their egg laying is kicking into gear?

What are you feeding?

New layers need to work out their kinks. The oyster shell will help! What feed are you feeding the? A fortified grower/ all flock feed with 18%-20% protein is recommended.
Good luck! Enjoy those fresh eggs!

What are you feeding?

I free feed 16% layer crumble and oyster shell, and give them BOSS and mealworms as a treat.

Switch to all flock 18-20% with oyster shell on the side and no treats until this sorts itself out. I get my layer feed mixed at a feed mill so I custom make my own layer feed.

Yes, I find this to be true for new layers.
The move itself could have caused the shell less eggs too.
Moves are stressful.

I think layer feed is better than an all flock type feed. Especially if you only have layers.

And then I found THIS funny-looking thing when I went to check their nest box when I got home just now:

What it looks like next to one of my Ameraucanas' eggs:

ETA: Their eggs are much bluer than they look in this photo. Crappy indoor lighting.

Thank you all so much for your help, I really appreciate it!

I seriously doubt it's the feed....it's moving stress and they'll get over it.

I have the same issue with a new 5 month old red link we have had about a week and a half, layer feed here, and oyster shell supplements, with meal worm treats once a day. She has laid every combination, very soft shells that break when she lays, no shell at all, and once not even a yolk, just a blob of egg white, but she has had two whole eggs with fairly thick shells. So I think we have normal move stress here, combined with new layers, that I hope will get better once our girls settle down! Good luck!
