Question: for those of you whose ducks have been laying, what color are the eggs? I was under the impression that all cayuga ducks laid greyish to black eggs. But then i read a post on here saying that its not that common. Just curious if you have picts. I have cayuga and campbell ducks all born memorial day last 2016, and I've only had white eggs that weigh around 2.0 - 2.5 oz ea. I've been thinking that my cayugas haven't laid at all yet. Thoughts?
I've been wondering that too! We've been getting three white-cream eggs a day, we assumed from our Welshie and two Buffs. Then this past Sunday there were four, including this little pullet egg:
From left to right: wooden egg a friend made us, chicken egg from farmers market, New Pullet Egg, and a duck egg from that day
And here is a picture of yesterday's four eggs, all pretty much the same size and color.
With five ducks laying four eggs a day, at least one of them has to be from a Cayuga. But the eggs are all white! Or white-cream etc. Definitely not black or gray. I'd love to hear back from anyone else whose Cayuga hens (preferably not mixes) are laying or who have laid in the past.
