No, we’ve never had an issue before. All of our eggs are hard and sturdy. Some even look like they have excess calcium on top (like an egg bunion). I do put eggs in my dogs food because of them can’t keep weight and the eggshells sit in the feed room to get all crusty. When they get crushed through my dogs getting in there and laying waist to everything, my polish hen finds the desintegrated shells quite a treat. But the only soft eggs I’ve got was from my very first batch of chickens and she was a broiler soooo.Yes, I see your point
Do they have access to a dish of oyster shell, or to crushed eggshells? They might need more cacium. (Just giving them the shells after you eat the eggs can help, but probably won't be enough total calcium for them to produce good hard eggshells.)
