Poor calcium consumption and usage by the hen. The hen may be getting old or you might need to add extra calcium in the form of bone meal or shellfish shells to the diet. Most feed stores can sell you ground shells to supplement the hens diet.

Happened with me before and I learned that they need to eat small rocks and/or crushed egg shells that were heated. If they get enough of these, the shell will come out perfect. :) Hope this helps...
