Eggs in the Pool

[LauraSBale]

late yesterday i go out and found a egg in the small pool.
then today i out and there is 2 eggs in the large pool, what are these girls thinking or doing

. they have been laying in their coop. every morning.
the 2 eggs i found today were soft shell

it seems ducks lay in their pools when they are having egg binding issues... the water helps them relax and cool down, as they get very flustered and overheat when egg bound. soft shelled eggs are harder to pass then normal and being in the water provided them with some weight off their feet. do they still have access to oyster shell? perhaps giving them Kale a a treat will help too

Provide oyster shell and it should clear up.
