My muscovy is laying odd eggs. Yesterday the egg had less white than usual. Today there were 2 eggs; one normal sized egg with no shell, almost no white and a huge yolk. The other was about an inch in diameter and had a miniature yolk but a reasonable yolk to white ratio. I've been feeding the same brand of feed for months; it includes calcium. Any ideas what's going on?

Has she always laid odd eggs or is it a recent occurrence?

After doing extensive research when our Carrie layed similar type mini eggs, I found that if there is bacteria introduced into the egg making parts of the vent, they will lay these type of eggs to clear out the bacteria. If she continues to lay odd eggs, look into antibiotics, but know that they will harm the hatchability of the rest of the eggs layed, if they return to normal. Hope the duck is doing better by now.
