shell-less premature eggs, whats going on?

***UPDATE***
As of this morning Nibbles is back to behaving normally and full of energy. So far *fingers crossed* she has not passed any yolk or egg like substance today! She has already eaten a full bowl of feed and a boiled egg with shell. I will continue to offer oyster shell in her feed and hope that this does the trick, I have read in several places it is not uncommon in new layers, and often happens in "good layer" because they are producing eggs quicker than they can shell them! Whatever the case, she seems to be back to 100! No more gooey discharge from her eyes either. Thank you all so much for your advice and assistance! I am forever grateful for your help!

Just another quick update! Nibbles has been feeling fine, she did not lay for 4 or so days after this episode ended. Then yesterday after she laid a soft shelled egg(it bounced) and this morning she gave me two perfectly shelled eggs. I believe this is conformation that she needed a good calcium boost because she was producing eggs quicker than she could shell them! Thank you for all who made suggestions and showed support! I appreciate you!
