calcium sources?

[Duck mommy 2019]

my girl refuses to eat oyster shells. she also won’t eat enough egg shells to get enough calcium. her egg shells are pretty soft at this point. i can’t put her on layer feed because of our drakes and our other girl is still too young. any other calcium sources that i can give her daily?

How old is she, and how long has she been laying?

I've never quite heard of a duck not eating Oyster Shells, are you sure she isn't eating any?

If she is continuously laying softies and is not eating the calcium supplements you've been trying to provide, your best bet would probably be offering her treats, with 1ml of 23% calcium gluconate over top, every few days.

I don't know if you can give rooster booster feed supplement to ducks, I am assuming so, but it is supposed to be high in calcium so you could mix that into their feed.
