Could be? my muscovy eggs are BIG way bigger than a chicken egg but not sure how big some of the other breeds are, do you own ducks?

We have a muscovy breeding pair, I just found these on a tarp.We just adopted the ducks 3-4 weeks ago, our chickens lay there eggs in the coop. I have no clue so I just dated them & stuck the leaves back in the coop.
They could be, they look like scovie eggs but mine are pretty big compared to chicken eggs... a pic of my chicken egg left and duck right.
Most of my ducks lay in the barn BUT i did find a cache of eggs recently, under a tarp covering some wood... the duck got stuck in there lol so they definitely can be er... sneaky?

Don't look like chicken eggs to me, so has to be ducks.
thanks I have no clue either. I marked them & stuck them back in the coop we will see. We have no rooster, so it's either we get baby ducklings or rotten eggs
LOL.. yeah, well hopefully it'll be the ducklings. They look scovie like but is the duck young? my smaller eggs come from under 1yo the bigger eggs are the ones who are older.

She's 8 months to a year old.
That would explain the size then! my girls in that range have a smaller more chicken ish egg .. lol again, good luck! I don't think there is much that is more persistent than a broody Muscovy duck.
