recién salido del cascarón = wet behind the ears (to be inexperienced, naive)
From the way you explained it, ser cascarón de huevo would mean the same thing as recién salido del cascarón (wet behind the ears), ¿no?

Related, but not an answer to your question.
"Newbie" and "Rookie" are common terms used to describe someone without experience and new to something.

I agree with Rusty. Recién salido del cascarón = Wet behind the ears.
Now, to me "ser cascarón de huevo" is to be "fragile/weak"
