Are you having a soft shell issue? Have you already tried oyster shells?

Apple cider vinegar is good for their bodies (and it helps keep the slime out of the waterer), but it doesn't make egg shells stronger. To make them stronger, you would want to give them Oyster shell. You can nail a sour cream container to the wall at their level and just keep it full - they will take it as their body needs it.

For ACV, you can add 1 TBS per gallon of water. Never put it in a metal container and you want the apple cider vinegar with the "mother" in it - it's found in the organic section of the grocery store.

yeah I have some of them that are but I think it was because they just starting to lay egg cause I have not found any in a week so I think that was the problem but I do give them oyster shells

ACV is Apple Cider Vinegar . The mother is the part where the good bacteria and nutrients live.
