Help, my hen keeps dropping soft shell eggs while roosting

My BCM just started this last week. She's been laying for about a month and was laying a perfect egg a day before it started. 3 of the days she laid 2 eggs and took 2 days off. Today she had a normal egg with a soft membrane and egg yolk stuck to the outside. They are on layer feed and have free choice oyster shells asy all times. She eats them every day. She's acting completely normally - bright, alert, responsive, eating and drinking normally. Just keeping an eye on it for now. Hope these girls get their egg laying stuff together :confused:
 
Hi. I have the same issue with finding shell-less eggs under the roost…. SIX already this week and it’s only Tuesday. The hens are 2 years old and have layed great up until late March so I don’t know what is going on. They have a good diet and access to oyster shells. I suspect it’s 2 of the 5 hens that are the culprits but can’t figure out WHY. Please HELP.!!
 
My EE lays a soft shell egg from the roost every other day. On the other days its normal. They get extra egg feed, oyster shell and egg shells. What could it be.
