New duck eggs- looking for feed advice

[BaileyP]

Hi there! My two girls Penny (Pekin) and Waffles (Indian Runner) surprised me with their first egg this morning! We're not sure who it belongs to, but we suspect the runner because it was just plopped next to their water bowl.

They've been eating Mazuri Waterfowl Maintenance feed, but I was wondering if now is the time to switch to Mazuri Waterfowl Breeder? I just want to make sure the new diet won't cause any harm to whichever duck isn't laying yet. I still have a large supply of the maintenance feed, so maybe a supplement until that bag runs out would be better.

Happy for any advice, this is my first experience with duck eggs Also if anyone has any insight into who that egg may have come from, please let me know!

I'd continue with the Mazuri Maintenance and provide oyster shell free choice.

Just give oyster shell on the side. I feed Mazuri too and get lots of eggs and happy ducks.

thank you so much! Is there an oyster shell brand you recommend?

I use dumor but just because that's what my feed store carries. I don't think it makes difference.
