Fluke means something that was unlikely to recur, maybe a bad choice of words.
I'm not sure if you should be worried..... a soft shelled egg by itself wouldn't bother me. And maybe it felt weird coming out to her and she's part drama queen?
If you need more help, you might consider starting a new thread in the emergencies section. Her egg count was slowing a bit on you already so even though it might not be a normal time of year for her to be shutting down on you.... Chickens do all kinds of strange things, and softees are one of those signs.... But it could be more than that. With chickens there are many possibilities. Like worms, mites, lice (not same as human), predator scare... to name a few we haven't talked about.
