I think you're right...our RIR was laying well for a few weeks then started with soft-shelled eggs. She's only 6 months old, so I'm thinking it's because she's new at this. But she gets oyster shell and ground up eggshell. Our EE has nice, hard shells. Sometimes the RIR will drop a soft shell from her roost, and another yolk with nothing else. It's like her ovaries are dropping eggs faster than she can fully process them. She's been laying normally for a week or so, but I worry when I see her in the nest box but then later there's no egg...like she's trying but can't pass it or something. I'm hoping this straightens out as she gets older!
