I went out today to the hen house and i found these 2 eggs in a little box i had made for my ducks to lay eggs in......i found these 2......do you know what they are?? I have a buff hen and a blue sweed hen the should have been laying sometime around this time........buuut i have never had duck eggs before.

They look like duck eggs. The shell is different on duck eggs. If you run your fingers across a chicken egg it will feel almost chalky compared to a duck egg. Duck eggs feel like porcelain and they're dirtier than chicken eggs.

Looks like chicken eggs to me.

Are there more eggs than usual? If so than yes...they must be duck eggs, also....can you post a pic comparing them to a Chicken Egg?

Sooo anxious for mine to start laying

Have fun!

The one on the right has the same kind of dirty spots my duck eggs get.

Try cracking one--my duck eggs are like trying to crack open rocks compared to my chicken eggs.

I'd say duck eggs, having never owned a chicken willing to start laying this time of year. But I can go one step further by asking what kind of buff hen you have? If she's a buff breed that lays brown eggs, you have an answer for sure!

I would say definitely Duck.....when I had ducks on the pond, they looked like that....Great for Baking..
