I am growing 17 varieties this year, the result of some indecision!
Six of them are new to me.
Market King, Black Sea Man, Black Truffle, Banana Legs, Beauty King and Consuelo.

I know what you mean Wighty. I also live alone and just sometimes I just like to hear something other than the sounds of silence or my cat trying to barf on the carpet.

Spag bol with - yes you've guessed it - baby pots. I just love 'em and they go with all sorts of meals.

Hens new to laying can have a few ups and downs, but if their diet is good there is not much more you can do. 

Your hen has laid normal eggs, so I would wait and see.  If they only ever lay soft shells that is more likely to continue, but doesn’t necessarily make them ill.  If there is a problem internally that is probably something in the process of forming an egg, rather than some genetic illness.  The main issues are becoming egg bound or having a prolapse.  You can help her with the first as you have already done.  Prolapses are more serious but cross that bridge if you get to it.  Maybe read up on them so you know what to look for.
