Why ducks eat eggshells?

[Dougdilman]

No she is not an egg eater , actually when i making an omelette in Morning , she hear the sound of cracking an egg , and then she wants to eat an eggshells

Hahaha how funny is that? Does she live in the house? Or do you cook in the coop?

I agree. Best to offer oyster shell free choice in a separate dish. Make this dish available 24/7.

Ok i will give her.
