Moose just laid his first egg, but the shell was very thin and cracked just holding it. Also, he laid it by the food dish in the middle of the pen. He made no nest and I believe he was probably freaked out! It had a little blood on it like Lucy's first egg did. I'm a little concerned about the shell being so thin. He eats the exact same diet, same quantity as Lucy and her shells are rock hard! Could it be because it was his first egg? I have oyster shell grit mixed with their regular grit. They are also on organic duck feed, which also has calcium.
Yes, I know Moose is a she, however, up until recently, we thought Moose was a boy, so we still say he.
