Can anyone tell me if my chicken will lay again?

[charian]

Hi all, can anyone with more experience of chickens than me let me know if I am panicking over nothing. Got two young chickens three weeks ago they were about 19 weeks and both laying already. After a week one got runny bottom and stopped laying, three days later she laid a soft egg. She seemed to recover from runny bottom and now eats well and looks as healthy as the other one with normal toilets. No eggs were laid however until yesterday a normal shelled egg. Great I thought we were back to normal but that same night while sleeping on the roost she laid two more eggs both soft shell so three eggs in quick succession. I am now worried that she will never be a proper layer. Anyone know if her system will get back to moral after this as she is still young only 22 weeks. What's going on? Thanks for any help.

Does she have enough calcium in her diet?

She eats the same as the other chickens , layers mash, and I give her some cheese which she loves.
