This has been going on for the last couple of weeks to baring degrees. This is what I found this morning.
400

They get layer feed, about an hour of free range time each day, and I recently added oyster shell. Both of these shells we together leading me to believe the same chicken laid both. I'll try to get out to get a supplement this afternoon. I don't know what else to do. All of the other chickens are laying normal eggs.
 
Some hens have problems with their shell gland, especially as they get older with some of the more commercial birds.
If the rest of the hens are laying normal eggs, and it sounds like you have them on a decent diet etc, it is probably just a problem with her not diet/illness/disturbances etc. There really doesn't seem to be much you can do about it that works longterm, sometimes giving the problem bird some extra calcium seems to help.
