    What are the chances my duck egg is a moulard? And other eggy insanity...

    Aw, my dearest friend. Regardless of the outcome, you did an amazing job and gave your children an incredible experience. Hatching eggs is a safe way to explore love, life & death. With love, K♡

    Discoloration of hatching eggs?
