Thanks for reaching out about Chelsea. Soft shelled eggs and difficulty laying is often an indication of calcium deficiencies or uterine disease. A veterinary visit is needed for diagnostic purposes and assistance for egg removal. A veterinarian can also help review and correct the diet. Good luck.
