If your eggs are a little soft served for your liking, it's an indication that your chickens probably need some more calcium in their diet. Normal layer feed that you're giving your hens does have more calcium in it than other types of feed, as laying hens do need more than other types of chicken.
Baby chicks should be fed a specially formulated chick starter or chick feed. Laying hens need high-protein laying mash supplemented with crushed oyster shells for added calcium. Roosters and meat chickens need a good grain mix, such as broiler feed or chicken scratch. All chickens will do well with some access to grass and bugs as well as produce scraps
Yes most hens require mineral to form an adequate shell for the egg. If they don't have enough calcium the shell is thin and easily broken. If they get too much calcium though the shell can become too thick and the chicks can have a difficult time to hatch.

There really is no need. The hen will turn them herself when she's laying on them. She won't let you touch them anyway when she's sitting on them.
NO. Hens will do well on scratch grains and corn but the addition of the extra proteins and calcium in layer feed make better quality eggs and shell. Without the layer mash you will need to add a source of calcium such as dry ground egg shells or oyster shells.
Nutritionally she needs extra calcium. This can be provided a number of ways for instance a chopped boiled egg (with the shell). She also needs a nestbox.
