Eggshell issues in new layer

[4chicksmom]

Hello,
First time chicken owner here. And my first post!
I have an Easter Egger that started laying recently and she's having issues with eggshells.
She laid her very first egg about 2 weeks ago and it was a prefect little blue egg. Then nothing for about 20 days. She laid another egg and it was weird, a little misshapen. Then next one was soft shelled, and I found one under the roost that was just the membrane attached to another empty membrane. I know it was hers because she's my only one that lays blue. Next, one was another with no she'll at all. Today she laid one that was very similar to the second one, with cracks in the shell, and calcification at the same time. I have been giving her Tums the last 2 days, bought new feed, and stopped snacks for her. I have 3 other layers and no one else is having issues. They are on layer feed and have oyster shells available. Free range all day. Help!

You're already doing what we usually recommend. Hope she comes around. New layers usually straighten out after a bumpy beginning.

I just went in and she laid another egg. and there was an egg yolk and white without anything right next to it.
Here's the second egg of the day. The first was laid around 11 am and this one was found right before 5pm. It is it possible that the extra calcium I gave her is making her more regular? And these other 2 eggs were just in the making? I cracked the second egg and it was a complete egg, the egg shell wasn't soft, but fragile.

Yes, the calcium is having an effect. It does help shell quality but also helps regulate the ovulation cycle. Keep giving the calcium until she's consistently on track. Probably just a couple more days.
