Hello! I've searched all around for advice and answers; apologies in advance for not finding a relevant thread if it already exists.
I have a female Cayuga duck who's around 15 months old. Until a couple of months ago she laid a perfect egg nearly every day. Recently, she's not laid any eggs at all. I attributed that to the winter months. In the last several weeks she's laid several tiny, soft eggs, and acts a little out of sorts. Still eats, but seems to walk slower and she's not nearly as vocal as usual. Feathers seem a bit fluffed. I have two ducks and two chickens and they eat layer feed (fortified with calcium), spinach, kale, bird seed and veggie scraps. They free range in our backyard all day. They have access to small koi pond.
Any duck wisdom anyone can pass on? Does she simply need more calcium?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Paige
