I have three runner ducks that started laying in late January. I get three eggs pretty reliably each day. Today I got three, good shells as always. I went to put them in their house tonight and as I was walking out of the pen I spotted a soft shell egg. I know this happens and can be considered fairly normal in young layers but it’s a first for the ducks. They get a mix of Mazuri waterfowl maintenance and Mazuri waterfowl layer feed and always have oyster shell available. Treats include peas and dried mealworms, romaine, and other fruits and veg. I don’t know which lady left that egg. Any suggestions- just keep an eye on them, or supplement calcium for all of them? I can up the layer feed in their daily allotment but the eggs have all had great shells until this one rando. Thanks!
