I have 6 call ducks and all of the females that are laying are laying in the same nest. At first the nest was gaining at least 1 egg everyday. When i had roughly 21 eggs, i noticed the amount of eggs decreasing down to roughly 17 and there was yolk and broken egg all over the nest.
Today i counted the eggs again and there are now 24. Does this mean the ducks dont like the eggs anymore or thought there was something wrong with the eggs they have eaten? One set of my chickens eat all of their eggs too and on a rare chance i find an egg that hasnt been eaten it is all covered in scratches etc. Sometimes they take it out into the run and 'play football' with it or throw the shell around before eating it. Any help is much appreciated Thanks all!
