colored duck eggs?

I love the feel of duck eggs when you wash them, they are so smooth. Even when I washed them the color stayed there but the dirt came off, lol.

i heard second-hand that they are blue swede/mallard mixes... a lady got a pair of mallards (supposedly.... they might have been rouens though cause these ducks are big and fat) and a pair of Blue swedes, and for some reason they did a wife swap and paired up funny... each pair had babies.. and my ducks parents are (supposedly) one from each pairing.... I'll let you know what I get..... whenever I get it....

When I got runner eggs to hatch for my aunt, they were green.

My australian spotted bantams lay a lovely green egg.

I got my first call duck egg this morning - it is greenish - and very very small - maybe it's a "first egg" thing.

My Pekin lays a large white egg.
My F&W Runner/Pekin mix lay a slightly smaller white egg.
My Rouen lays a pretty bluish-green egg abt the same size as the runner/pekin mix egg, but it is a little bit different shape (a little more elongated with a more pronounced point at the one end).

I have seen lots of charts on the internet for chickens regarding egg color, characteristics, etc, but haven't run across one for ducks. It would be nice to put everyone's comments into a chart form.
