Thanks everyone for the replys about mallard eggs. After a few days I have discovered it is in fact a mallard egg! I'm up to 6 now. They are going in the incubator today! And praying for a great hatch! I couldn't be more excited to get little ones from Fred and Ethel lol. Thanks again
Thank you guys. I'm really hoping it's from my mallard. I collected this bone yesterday so maybe I'll have another today. Ill make sure and turn it when I turn my chicken eggs.
Yes definitely mallard. I've been very picky when I picked out my ducks not to get The small call ducks or the bigger rouens. It is the same egg. I misted off the dirt trying to figure out the actual color. Darn I hope that wont affect the hatchibility I'm hoping to incubate it. Will check later...
Thanks a bunch. Mine seems small compared to the pictures I've seen so I'm not sure if it's because it's a first time layer or because it's actually a chicken egg lol.
I know my duck tends to hang out a lot in the area I found it. I guess incubate and only time will tell.
Does anyone have a picture of a mallard duck egg? I find it hard to trust Google images. I got an egg yesterday I hope it's a duck egg. But it could be a chicken egg, but none of my chickens have ever laid an egg that looked like this.
It was also in a spot that my chickens don't normally lay.
