Black egg?

[BirdLeaf]

Got a black egg this morning, should I incubate it or throw it away?

What breed of chicken is it from?

No clue, all my birds lay brown, white, or cream eggs. I have one bird who lays blue eggs. I do have a few ducks, mostly pekins and one black duck hen. Here it is next to my regular chicken eggs.

If it helps, I haven’t seen any ducks lay eggs around here for about a year. I do have some African Geese also, but their eggs are massive and white

That's a Duck egg...Is the Duck a Cayuga?...

Looks like a Cayuga duck egg!

I wish I knew, she’s black with some white on her. She’s new to me but my boyfriend said he’s never once seen a black egg here. She’s about 2 years old. I’ll get a picture if I can
