Hi,do your birds have oystershell and flint grit? as long as she has access to grit, she will be fine- sometimes birds pass shell -less eggs, occasionally- they also produce mini eggs that have no yolk - just keep an eye on her and she should be laying normal eggs most of the time-

They will from time to time, especially hybrids / commercial layers.

If you have a look at the new poultry diseases and disorders section and select the eggs tab, there are a number of egg problems described, one of which is soft or missing shell.

Good Luck.
