House them seperately if you only want to hatch one breed.

I just googled "khaki Campbell egg color" and " Muscovy egg color" and they look the same. Both white duck eggs.

There is a difference if you know what to look for!

The khaki eggs will be smaller.

Also, the muscovy eggs tend to be shiny. I know it sounds weird, but all of the muscovy eggs I've collected over the years have been shiny and very very smooth. I have many other breeds and no other duck has eggs like that.

NOW NPIP CERTIFIED! Al's Quackery is a small duck farm in Southern Maine. I raise ducks, ducklings, geese, goslings and sell eating and hatching eggs.
Anconas (black, blue, lilac and lavender), Welsh Harlequins, Khaki Campbells, cayugas, black and blue runners (starting Fall, 2013), and muscovy (black pied, chocolate pied, buff, lavender, blue pied, blue fawn, and barred). American Buff, Tufted...
