Duck eggs are waxy and larger than typical chicken eggs. On the picture the egg looks glossy, so yes, I would say it is a duck egg. If you crack it, it will have a larger yolk and much more viscous white if it is a duck egg.
 
Thanks Guys... it is waxy thats what make me think duck egg

Its about the same size of some of my chicken eggs. Do ducks eggs get larger as more or laid, like chicken eggs. If this is a duck egg, its my ducks very 1st egg ever.
 
I've got acouple people sayin this is not a duck egg? Only one way to try to find out... I'm gonna put it under my broody hen & see what hatches, if anything. Wish me luck
