Why are my ducks laying eggs in their pool?

[Miss Cheep]

Hello! Today I was giving my ducks fresh water. A muscovy duck had been taking a bath before I gave them fresh water. When I emptied it, a egg rolled out! Also a different young muscovy hen was just sitting in a different pool, and I emptied that one, and another egg came out!!! Why are my young muscovies laying eggs in their pools? Is this normal? They are about 6 and 1/2 months old.

My ducks often lay their first eggs in the pond. As they mature some make nests on land. Others just seem to lay where they are.

Yes, one of the eggs was squishy and soft.
