my cayuga duck is 2 years old now and recently has been laying soft shelled eggs; she was a laying since she was around 8 months and almost daily... she stopped laying since feb when she was moulting and started again on and off but not as regularly as before... she is getting bald again on her head and i found 3 very soft shell eggs 3 days in a roll after couple weeks without eggs... anybody knows why? she is raised with 12 other chickens and her best friend is a mille fleur and she hates water... i had not been able to get her to go swimming at all, she would paddle but always try to get out as fast as possible... she would only make muddy mess with any water i leave out for her and the chickens... she sleeps in the coop with the chicken at night and actually lays her eggs inside the coop on the ground where the chickens sleep up in their nest boxes
