Duck Eggs

[Kalileigh09]

Hey guys! My ducks just started laying I have 4 female and it seems maybe two are laying? The eggs look identical are usually in the bottom nesting box (the chickens won’t use) or on the ground and are a little different from the chicken eggs. But they are the same size as the chicken eggs and it’s been like 2 weeks now i expected them to get larger? Is this ok? They are on a laying feed with yeast and optional calcium on the side.

Also I have a khaki Campbell, Cayuga, Ancona, and a black crested (not sure if that’s a breed all I know is she is solid black)
And I get white eggs but sometimes two so I think the khaki and crested? I think the other two should lay different colors so any info on that is good.
In the pic the duck egg is one the left and a leghorn egg on the right for comparison.

How old are they? My two hens completely stopped laying small eggs, or pullet eggs, when they were 10 and 11 months old.

I'm no expert, just wanted to share my experience with you. I have Cayugas, and I know google says they lay "black" eggs. That was the reason I got them, lol. But mine lay white eggs, even the very first ones were white. Maybe a little on the darker side, but it was still white to me. I also have Pekin and saxony, and those breeds are definitely bigger than my Cayugas. Those lay jumbo eggs, but my Cayugas lay a smaller sized egg, the same size as regular chicken egg. I have no idea about the other breeds you have, just wanted to share that my Cayugas lay regular sized white eggs.

Yeah, I wouldn’t be concerned about it now. They can take quite a while to work out their egg glitches. Give them a couple more weeks to a month, and see if there’s any changes.
