I have a coop shared with 4 laying hens and a Mallard hen. This morning I got my first egg from that coop and it was medium sized and green. I'm trying to figure out who done it. I am certain that 3 of my layer breeds lay brown eggs and uncertain about the color of the 4th. I was told this morning by other BYCers that Mallard eggs are green, BUT my questions are... Aren't Mallards "seasonal" layers and lay in the spring? Do they lay single eggs or don't they usually lay a clutch at time? And don't ducks (unlike chickens) require a drake to do so? I am probably WAY off on all accounts and need somebody to educate me!
Thanks
