Eggs and feed?

[Szack]

Hi I have a year old and a 4 month old Aylesbury both are laying but this morning the younger has laid 2 eggs and the older one 1! I know this as I only changed their bedding yesterday afternoon. It’s not the first time either. Last week the younger one layed a tiny egg about the size of a quails egg and another twice the size of a standard duck egg. The small one had no yoke, the large was a double yoker. I’m guessing her egg production is kicking in and is a bit all over the place. But my question is. I’ve noticed the shells are discoloured and thin with both my birds eggs. They are on a grower pellet atm Amongs others things like corn, oats and calci warm but should I be moving to a layer pellet now or any other foods that might help with their shell?
The bluer eggs are the younger of the two

Yes, you should give her either layer pellets or just move to Purina duck pellets which are good for all ducks. That won't work if you've got other birds but if you've just got ducks it will be perfect. The only thing you have to add when using that food is oyster shells.

The one thing you are missing is oyster shells. You need to get a bag of them and put them in a separate dish for the girls to eat when they need to. Do not mix them in with their food. Somehow they know when they need them and they obviously do or the shells wouldn't be so thin.

Great I’ll try that thank you
