We have three runner ducks that are 1 year old (born 5/23/23). This morning we had three eggs in their house as we normally do. I just found a soft egg in the middle of our yard. This would have been laid between 2:30pm and 5pm. This has never happened before! They have consistently laid 1 egg per day since about a week after they started laying (in February of this year). Should I be concerned? Is there anything I should do for her? They all seem to be acting normally now. Picture of the egg is attached and details on food are below. They free range in our backyard (supervised) all day.
Food: MannaPro Duck & Goose Layer Pellets (we mix in a little oats & cracked corn)
Supplement: Fresh Eggs Daily Brewer's Yeast
Treats: Peas, asparagus & mealworms
Always available on the side: MannaPro oyster shells
It is warmer today (mid-80s) - probably the warmest it's been all year. Not sure if that can affect things, but thought I'd mention! They do always have access to fresh water and they have a pool and multiple shaded areas.
Thanks in advance for the help and advice!
