Laying eggs while on roost

I have a simalar issue. One of my newest layers is laying "rubber" eggs, almost like a bouncy ball, off of the perches in the early morning. She has plenty of calcium though. How do I get her to stop?

My hens egg shells are nice and hard but they crack when they fall from the roost to the coop floor. try to keep straw/hay underneath but the darn chickens keep piling it in the corner of the coop. :/
