    Egg Abnormality

    sorry to invade on this post, but any idea what THIS is??? we've head several of those, with kind of a 'paper bag' and a little slime around an odd shaped egg -with a hard shell-inside it, and also just some eggs that were just slightly odd shaped, without the 'paper bag'. this one almost seemed...

She also gets a rather waterlogged look in...

    Duck egg color chart?

    thanks for the comparison chart- i've been dying to know who was laying which eggs between my runner and the magpie!

    What color are Magpie Duck eggs?

    i'd think this might be a real magpie egg, mine just started laying ones that look exactly the same
