I don't think it was a calcium deficiency. Her eggs were super thick. And chalky- like plaster. It was like all the material used to make a normal goose egg, but made 1/3 smaller.

I have the flock on a whole grains blend that's also fortified, mixed with flock raiser crumbles. Plus they graze all day and get treats. Juveniles get brewers yeast, but the adults get into it as well. Have never had anybody be deficient.
Even my goose that lost a leg was able to start laying again and grow new feathers, and she isn't nearly as mobile to graze like the others.
 
Peasue honey that is not what I meant. I have found that our girls when they lay eggs it takes the calcium out of their bones and if we do not replace it the females can just drop dead while in breeding season or just right at the end of laying season. Then people do not understand why they lost a female. So what I do because I had two from Dave H that dropped dead during breeding season! I got online and read about it so have found that feeding them this nut mixture from Walmart, patio, porch and deck nuts all seeded has calcium and I thought I am going to try this again on the geese while breeding is going on and I give it to all of them. Then while sitting on eggs and after. I did not lose any females this year! YEA!!!
This is just something I wanted to share with you as I have others on here.

Some of my girls would not get off their nest so I gave them their feed right in the nest with them. No super skinny girls for me this year either. I have to go in and kick some of them off the nest to relieve themselves, get food and water and maybe a quick bath.
 
Oh ok- I get ya. I did the same thing with the feed and treats.

I have two white juvenile Sebs that I am selling now. Going through some career changes, and decided its best not to start a white flock in addition to the colored ones at this time. They are out of a gorgeous group of birds in Colorado.
