And

How many has she laid that way? Ducks can get egg bound, but it sounds like you might need more calcium in their diet. What are you feeding her?

And yes, ducks can lay blueish or greenish eggs. What breed is she?

I have found 2 eggs like that but she has probably laid more like that that I have not found. We feed her corn and she is a mallard. Thanks!!

[ederob]

Thanks!! I do free range.

 

[farmer boy]

maybe you should start feeding other stuff besides corn and give her healthy little treats here and there they like that i had this happen with a chicken before but she just stopped doing it idk why it was like that and why she just boom back to nice eggs
