This is often a problem with calcium intake or utilization. Hens that do not get fed enough calcium in the diet fail to produce well formed eggs. Laying a soft shell or "rubber" egg is common. Soft shell eggs are also possible from pullets just coming into egg production (oviduct training or test eggs). Older hens just finishing their egg laying life and utilizing the available calcium for bone maintenance will often lay a soft shelled egg.
if the chicken doesn't have enough calcium in their diet then the egg is therefore at a lack of calcium as well (soft shelled)
