With young pullets a range of odd eggs like shell less ones, double ones etc and inconstant laying is pretty common, especially with the commercial birds, it is usually just because of their age. They are working on getting their egg laying system into gear. There are a list of other causes, but if she is young it is probably just a glitch in her new egg laying system where an egg gets passed through too fast for one reason or another, she should straighten it out in a little while. It usually does not have anything to do with calcium being deficient in her diet.

There is usually no need to worry in this sort of situation. Hens usually take a few days to lay properly because they need to get used to it, especially if it is their first egg.

Now another chicken layed another weird egg, it is longer than the normal, like a bullet.
I would post pics but I can't cause I forgot how to.

As the others said above, you are likely to see a lot of variations in the eggs of a young layer. Be sure to offer calcium to help her build those shells, and enjoy the surprises that come while she is still trying to "get it right!"
