One soft-shelled egg, now not laying -- plenty of calcium

Hi -
My banty Brahma has been laying consistently (every other day) since we got her two months ago. Six days ago she was a little subdued and lethargic, and later that day she layed a soft-shelled egg. She hasn't layed since then, but she is normal and active.
She's always been a bit edgy, comes running for food but doesn't want to be held or petted, so I don't want to try to grab her to palpate her abdomen.
I see her eat the oyster shells/egg shells that I feed them, so that's not the issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks
 
Hi, it's probably a one time thing (I had a hamburg that layed a soft shelled egg for no apparent reason after laying consistantly and after a couple days of not laying began laying normally again.) As long as she's getting calcium and doesn't seem sick, I wouldn't worry about it. Good luck!
 
Thanks. After worrying and waiting to post the issue here, then finally posting, she gives me a perfect egg this morning!
