Should I be worried about these eggs?

In the past week I have had two soft shell eggs from two different hens, one is an Ameraucana just under a year (started laying around 9 months) and a silkie or silkie mix (not sure who of these two laid it) the silkie is a little over a year and the silkie mix is just under a year. I have never experienced soft shelled eggs before and am concerned about one or both of them becoming possibly egg bound. I have read online that fairly new layers can do this and they’ll be fine, the amerucauna is a consistent layer and has always laid normal eggs and as for the other two the silkie has laid eggs before the the silkie mix has just recently started as well. Should I be concerned that this has caused some issues for in the future or was it just a fluke?
 
I recently gave them some strawberry tops after buying a flat at the Florida Strawberry Festival. Not sure if that would make a difference or not
