It happens occasionally. Make sure they have a good layers feed that has all the minrals in it,and a supply of shell for good egg making...

as ipt8 says it happens now and then a good layers pellet or growers pellet will contain the right amount of minerals they need if there already eating that then don't worry to much it will sort itself out i would imagine.
