Hi all. So Raspberry (Pekin) has been molting recently. She stopped laying when the molt began (normal, I know).

This week she laid a somewhat lopsided egg, but I figured it was her getting back into the swing of things. Today I went out and she had laid one soft shelled egg, and a harder tiny egg. Shes acting completely normal, and is eating and drinking and running around like normal.

Wondering if this is just from the molt or if this calls for a vet visit. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Edit to add: All the ducks are on duck pellets, brewer's yeast, & oyster shell.

Could be from starting back after molt. When my Ducks started back from laying off laying from Oct 2021 till just a week ago I got about 4 lopsided eggs before whoever was doing it got the kinks worked out. You might want to give her a couple of day of calcium Gluconate and see if that helps get her system working normal again.
