Just keep giving them they shells and also crushing up hard chickens eggs works as well and blending it with their food.

Raw or boiled

Raw is better usually.

It's likely stress related, assuming they aren't pullets at POL nor old hens. Something is causing alot of stress to the hen/s so check for predators, change in flock/pecking order, or space. Otherwise it could be related to the hen being overweight

There are twelve hens I’m assuming only three or four of them are laying because I keep finding hard eggs in three places and soft in the other. Lol one hen will only lay in the feed storage one in nesting box one under my dads quail cage and the the hen laying softees under a shelf in the coop.

Can they be store bought? As I have only gotten six good eggs from my hens

They can be but that may not give you as great of results.

They have just started laying. Thanks for the advice will definitely be backing off on the scratch. And separating the scratch.

There's no reason to start feeding them back eggs or egg shells.....give the new layers time to adjust to this new activity....their layer feed has plenty of calcium.
