No Shells on Eggs

My babies just started laying eggs last week and today I found these two eggs inside their run. I think they ate the yolk out of one but the other was untouched. After being in complete shock I ran to the internet and read that it’s normal for them to lay shellless eggs towards the beginning however…
My question is — I’m feeding them an All Flock feed because of my Rooster. I have a feeder in their run that has oyster shells for their calcium. Am I doing enough to help the ladies or should I be feeding the Layer feed?

Generally eggs without shells are pushed out before the shell can be applied. Usually due to stress, or with new Pullets, being unfamiliar with all the new sensations.

It doesn't have anything to do with calcium. I feed an all flock ration with oyster shells as well.
