1 and 1/2 year EE was broody for a couple weeks finally broke, seemingly healthy. Active, eating layer feed plus calcium on the side if needed. Has gone back to laying but the shell comes out open or weak and egg is spilled out

Happened 3 times once a week same hen saw it happen all is expelled thinking the hormones from broodiness messed her up and will need time to readjust maybe... any ideas?
 
Plus this is her second time being broody first time was last year August when she was only 7 months she hatched one chick so this isn't her first broodiness, but it's the one we broke bc we didn't want to hatch this year...

Could be, that and it's molting season has begun. Can get funky eggs around molting time.
How long since she broke..... then started laying again?
All her eggs are weak?
 
Cant say all eggs just seen it three times happen in front of me so she could be laying others fine have 20 other ee's so not easy to see each lay it was about 2 weeks after breaking I saw the first mishap then once a week later, then once more just the other day
