Oyster shells make their shells nice and hard.

Sorry... I'm super tired and waiting for a late meeting to end. I did not realize you are the OP! LOL. I thought someone was commenting on a photo.

You have been good advice to give her calcium for a few days. Eggs without shells can lead to other reproductive problems, as they are hard to lay and can cause back-up. Can you get her/them a good layer ration?

I would administer (by putting it in her beak amd allowing her to swallow OR my crushing it into a treat she finds irresistible) a calcium citrate (meant for humans) with D3 if possible.

As for feed, it should be pellets or crumble marked for laying hens.

Give her a calcium pill once a day for a few days and see if that helps. One of my hens was laying soft shells in the last week. She's been getting a crushed pill mixed with boiled egg everyday and it's definitely helping her. I think she has laid two normal eggs now.

@icy_flames Is she still laying normal eggs? I am having this problem now.
