Welcome to BYC! A lack of calcium can result in shell-less eggs. What you can do is after you use their eggs is you can feed the shells back to them because the shells have calcium in them. Or you can crush them up and put in whatever scraps you might be feeding them. Make sure their feed also has a high amount of calcium in it as well. Hope this helps some. 😊

I’m trying oyster shells, hoping this works

Hello and welcome to BYC! :welcome
I wouldn't be too worried about the egg unless the shell-less eggs are consistent.
How old are they? Do you know which one laid it?
Also try not to give too many treats, treats should not make up more than 10% of their diet.

we have 4 hens, they are 6 months old. Not sure which one laid the shell less yolk less egg but I’m guessing it’s the same one that I think stopped laying eggs. We were getting 4 eggs a day now only 3 a day. I will make sure to alternate their treats to only one per day
 
Hello and welcome to BYC! :frow Glad you joined.

Your pullets reproductive systems are still maturing. Once the the one that is experiencing the shell-less eggs works the kinks out of her system, she should be okay. I would limit the "trail mix" to about a 1/8 cup per day.
