I haven't gotten, "tails," on eggs before. But another member, @CoriM has, and she is getting soft shells, too.Have you seen anything similar with your duck that had egg laying issues @KaleIAm ?
The tail is interesting to me. I'm curious what the vet will say about it.That's interesting. All of the hard shell ones that I have gotten so far from Pigeon have been completely normal, but one of the soft shelled ones had a little tail before this, but this one is like pretty much only a tail.
How long did it take for your new layers to start laying normal eggs?Here is what I've been getting from my duck lately - View attachment 2501764
I did get some weird eggs when my ducks were new layers. I hope yours sorts it out soon.
I'm curious if you went to an avian vet? I've had a lot of reproductive issues in my flock so I get their free and total calcium levels tested frequently. My avian vet has explained to me that a reproductively active bird should have much higher than normal range calcium levels. Though maybe your bird's range was outside that even.My duck who had been having laying problems for the past several months has been laying soft shelled eggs for the past several weeks with tails. She originally was seen by the vet in October as she was no longer laying her regular eggs, but instead soft. A blood test revealed that her calcium levels were too high as I had been giving her supplements. However, it was not until the past couple of weeks where her normal eggs are no where to be seen. I only see soft shell eggs every other day with a tail. I am awaiting the results of her recent 250.00 comprehensive blood panel to see what it says. At one point, she was laying 2 eggs a day, a good egg and then soft shell in the evening. Just keep hoping our ducks will be okay !!!
