    Silkie question- egg colors

    My duck never laid anything but a pure white egg. How big was it? Duck gigs ar significantly bigger, pus ducks lay their eggs awa from the chickens in a secluded spot and cover them for safety.

    Hello! New Silkie/Sizzle owner

    Hello, I'm new here! We had a number of chickens the past few years but they were all RIR's and leghorns.
