Hi i had this problem with a budgie who laid soft eggs, I consulted my vet and he told me to up the calcium intake. So i use a liquid calcium in the water , i also add mashed egg and powder the shells in the soft food and make sure there is a cuttle fish available.There is no apparent reason for this to happen some people say that stress can cause it but because it has happened it does not mean that she will continue to lay soft eggs, I hope this helps karen
