So about a week ago while collecting eggs I seen one with a wrinkled tip which no problem but when I picked it up that wrinkle broke. OK so calcium deficiency. Went and got them some oyster shell and some nutri drench and added ACV to the water as well and just left the calcium for free choice Last night I put them up and noticed I had three strange eggs. It was 3 soft membrane eggs Which I'm confused cause I seen everyone eat some and I don't have anyone coming of age so I was wondering if anyone could help figure out what happened

ACV interferes with the proper absorption of calcium.
 
Truthfully, it happens, and it is generally not a real nutrition problem if you are feeding commercial feed, and providing clean water.

They are animals, and not machines, each egg is a little different. Once in while you get a soft one, once in while you get a wrinkle, once in a while you get double yolks. They just happen, not a problem.

Did not realize that thank you because it kind of makes sense I have 13 hens 2 of them are 3 years old and the other 11 are just coming of age so not even a year yet. I have my flock on southern states specialty flock feed which is higher protein so I can feed it to the ducks as well
 
This^^^
....and what is their regular feed,
along with what all and how exactly are you feeding?

Lose the ACV....just plain water.
Regular feed is Southern States Speciality flock feed which is a higher protein so my ducks can eat it but not to much for the chickens. They get 5 cups of the booster and 1 cup of mixed grains in the morning and again at night
and right now just water. On and off I still get the soft eggs but lately none.
