Ok, we have 3 Muscovies and 1 Cayuga.
George the Cayuga shows ALL signs of being a boy....curly tail, etc. despite that we sexed him a girl at 2 weeks old but has spent a lot of time in the house observing the 3 Muscovies and All the chickens nesting and laying eggs.
He/She is almost 5 months old.
Saturday night when they went to bed and were locked up in house for the night, no eggs in the house. I checked before I locked them up.
Sunday after I let everyone out into pen and see that 2 of the Muscovies are in house and laying, I leave them to come back about an hour later and find.... 4 duck eggs:/
Ummmm, we have 3 laying Muscovies and George.
They all looked like Muscovy eggs.... 1 ecru colored for my daily layer and 3 more algae coated green for my other 2 sporadic layers.
Now, I have been checking images online for Cayuga eggs and they are to be dark green or black at the start.
Any chance that a 1st time Cayuga egg could look more like a Muscovy egg?
Just trying to figure out how we have 4 eggs from 3 ducks unless George is indeed a girl...despite curly tail and laid an egg that is not the norm for a Cayuga?
This is our first year having Ducks, in case you did not know that........
