Actually i am trying to make this sentence with the help of perfect participle. sentences of this kid start with having.
so i wrote, Having been completed the formation of the hard shell ....the hen lays the egg. is this wrong?

I believe this is wrong. If I was restricted to using the present participle, I would say:

The formation of the hard shell having been completed, the leg is laid.

Those were wild guesses. You better wait and see what the teachers have to say abou

No. 'Being had completed' is not possible.

The formation of the hard shell having been completed, the egg is laid.

It's a pretty clunky construction.

Yes, agree. What if the original statement was:

Having had the formation of the hard shell completed, the hen lays the egg.

Would my statement be accepted then?

Thank you.
