Are you still feeding layers pellets? Do you give many treats, and if so, what kind? How old are they? Are they ex battery hens? Did they used to lay hard shelled eggs?

I am by no means an expert, I have only had my chickens for a week. I got my first soft shell today.
Maybe they are not eating the oyster shell? Can you crush up some egg shells and see if they will eat that? I read that it works.

They may well still be stressed by the move, and that is enough to cause temporary soft shells.
