Xena laid another 33 eggs tonight.  They were a nice colour but the shells were quite soft and malleable like they were last time.  Just to make sure I don't make the wrong move, would it be from not enough calcium or infertile eggs?

I'm wondering if I should up her calcium intake or continue as usual.   Smiley

what's their color?

soft is ok........they should plump.  Calcium deficient would show as slight transparency or lack of opaque coloration typical to shells.  They may be a little low, however, i doubt it.  I'd raise her uptake just a bit in case, but watch for chalky urates.

They were a nice solid white colour but a bit deflated and squishy.  I put them in the freezer since even if the eggs were fertile I can't currently afford the feed the little guys.
