Cayuga Egg Question

[chickens really]

Do any ducks lay blue shells?

There are only white and blue shells.
Brown eggs have brown coating on white shells.
Green eggs have brown coating on blue shells.
The brown coating can be very light or very dark.
Then the bloom can add another aspect to the egg color.
Pink/purplish eggs are from the bloom on a brown egg.

My Calls lay a mint green egg that actually is white.

None of my ducks lay a blue or green egg. Just gray and white. I know others have ducks that do

If it’s the bloom that gives the egg the color then it certainly can be washed off to some degree. I’m not sure with Cayuga eggs where the color comes in the process.

I also have duck eggs that look green at times, and it’s all bloom. The shells are not blue. Most of the shells are a cream color for all my ducks.
