Shell less duck egg with broken yolk next to it

Besides the calcium....what would cause her to lay two eggs a day?

these are the only two I got!!!

And in your first post, I saw that he has a curly tail feather?

It's possible that her first stuck soft egg caused all the other to back up. Hopefully this is the last of them and giving the calcium will help lay shell down on the next ones.

All good! I was just making sure of amount and backing up Kathy's advice...

Thanks!

That's not good... looks like she is also getting 2 eggs down the chute at once too...

Is she your only layer, for sure?

Very odd.

Ok, just making sure!

That's what I am thinking too... and with them backing up like that, lucky one hasn't gotten stuck... I would definitely monitor her closely for any signs of distress, infection or lethargy/listlessness... just to be safe...

I've had mine do two in a day, but it's always been a shelled one that was overdue, followed by a soft one. I did read about someone that had a goose lay three soft eggs in one day.

So in between all these soft shells there was one that was hard shelled...the machine is definitely not working right!
