Soft Shelled Goose Egg

I think I know - she needs calcium. This is her 1st soft egg - - her partner has been on a clutch of her eggs for close to 25 days now. Just need to verify. Opinions?

Do you put out oyster shell? sometimes they even need more than that calcium gluconate from Feed store put into their water will help too.

Agree on the oyster shell. My laying goose in in the oyster shell bowl at least three or four times every day.

Also, young geese (> 1 year) may lay a shellless egg once in a while because their system is not yet fully developed. My goose laid two shellless eggs last year (out of 108), but so far none this year (32 and counting).
