    Ducks won't eat oyster shells and the eggs are getting thin

    My ducks shells were getting soft too. I put out oyster shells in a pan also mixed with their food. I also give them 1/2 cup of mealworms and dry puppy food. We throw in the pond. Which they love! Both are high in protein and calcium. It seems like the shells are getting better.

    Too many Drakes?

    No no no! We put a fence around the pond and raked it to make sure there are no turtles in there. They are safe there just not with the others.
