Hens eating my duck eggs

[chickens really]

Ok, I do free choice for calcium. Was hoping you mentioning the grower feed had something to do with more calcium.

They actually can get more calcium as needed with free choice Oyster shell and definitely need a good protein.

Ok thanks! I have free choice calcium out 24/7, so I just need help in figuring out why she isn’t taking in enough calcium for a hard shell. All the other ducks have very hard shells and no issues.

Oh sheesh, sorry lol. No, she laid every other day all winter! But this winter is when I noticed that the hens were eating her eggs. I now get they were eating them as the egg was to weak when it dropped out of her.
Maybe this is a seasonal issue?

Could be reproductive issues too...

Not much I can do about that, right?

Not really..Hopefully she regulates again. She is a bit older and a meat Duck.

I feed All flock Grower/Finisher

I prefer the protein

What is the protein percentage?
Different brand growers may have different levels.
