Only one hen laying soft shell eggs

[zimileih]

I have been seeing a soft shell egg many days when collecting my eggs. I've started to pin down who is laying them and I believe it is one of my buff orphingtons. All the other hens are laying normal eggs. They are on layer feed and there is a bowl of oyster shell in the coop. What can I do?

Give the guilty parties vitamin D. Vitamin D helps with calcium absorption.

How would you recommend providing this to her? I tried layer boost supplement and it might have helped a little but it's pretty $ and doesn't make many gallons per container. I also bought cod liver oil but I don't know how to administer it. I tried in their food but I worry about it in the heat.
Do you know a way to supplement just her?

timely question as one of our 6 Buffs ( new layers) is doing the same thing the others are laying fine.
