The Classroom @ The Coop: Waterfowl: Tufted Romans - first eggs normal, later ones defective - Why?

Hi all - I have two Tufted Roman pullets. They laid their first eggs about 3 weeks ago, and although a little small, as would be expected, normal in appearance. For the past week, the eggs have been the size and shape of gulf balls, rough, thin, chalky shell, some with yolk, some without. I've raised geese for years and never had a problem like this that persisted. Their environment,water, feed, etc. has remained the same, same as my embdens and they are laying normal eggs. Anybody have any ideas? I'd appreciate it. Thanks. Colleen
