My silkie hen just started laying but her first eggs have been squishy. When I press down on them they don't break open but crack everywhere and are very pliable and easy to morph into any shape. Does anyone know what's going on?

Flying around in a panic can cause that kind of cracking during the shelling process.
Which usually takes ~20 hours.
Often more calcium is applied for a firm shell....but not always.
