   It's been almost 2 months and I'm getting soft shelled eggs from one of my hens on a daily basis. I started off putting there own crushed eggs in there mash and now I'm putting oyster shells too. Could there be some other underlying problem that's causing this besides calcium?? All my other hens lay perfectly.
