Guess this is a common problem since I have almost the exact issue as @Stephanie8806. I have 5 pullets mixed in with my mature flock of 15, two of which are laying regularly in the nest boxes, and their shells are hard and beautiful. But I'm getting 2 paper thin shelled eggs bursted on the poop board every 2-3 nights for the past couple weeks. The 3 pullets who could be the culprits are all blue or green egg layers, and the shells on the busted eggs don't have a tint to them so I'm not 100% sure they are coming form my pullets. Very frustrating and curious.
I think you’re right, that it’s a common problem. Thankful to see that it seems to happen to all new chickens! It makes sense, I suppose... everything is so irregular in the beginning: egg size, frequency, more frequent double yolks... I guess it makes sense that egg shells can be a bit goofy too. Good luck with your new girls!!!
