Shell less eggs...Cant figure her out....

[Hunlock Creek Chickys]

Hello all...I have a 21 week old Easter egger hen that started laying at 15 weeks...she was laying blue/green small eggs. She is the smallest in the flock, though she's named Rebel as since 2 days old she's always the one to do things first, hence her name. She laid a pretty large egg about 6 days ago and then several shell less eggs in the run, then laid a beautiful egg yesterday, and today again its shell less, in the coop. She eats layer feed, has access to Oyster shell at will. Should I be concerned at this point or is this still typical new layer kinks in the system? All input is greatly appreciated. Pics of Rebel and the large and last small egg she laid.

Some chickens will just start laying eggs with nothing wrong but many do lay soft-shelled ones or fairy eggs, etc. I'd give her another few days to get it right. I'd have suggested oyster shell in addition to layer feed but you got that down! Good luck!

P.S. Rebel is a beautiful hen!

Thank you so much, she also keeps us on our toes! I just worry as its been a few weeks since she started laying and seemed all was good, regular, but small eggs....until this past week...lol. I'm still a newbie chicken mom so I thank you for the input.
