Comparing Muscovy Eggs

[The Wolf Queen]

I was wondering if anyone on here might have a pic comparing a Scovy egg to a regular large chicken egg and a Scovy egg compared to a white egg. Thanks in advance

OOooh Ooooh! ME! except I can't find my camera. I got my first scovie egg today! it is just a little bit bigger and kinda "waxy" looking off white.

Hmm define waxy(shiny or...?). Ive been getting a large, what looks to be white, egg almost daily and I dont believe my Scovy girls are old enough to lay but im just makin sure. But im also considering that these big white eggs might be coming from my one Leghorn hen or my campine.

Here is a pic of two Scovy eggs with a lg-Xlarge chicken egg in the middle. Scovy eggs feel very waxy, a bit glossy with it. Your first Scovy eggs may be smaller since they are pullets, so to speak, and my first Scovy eggs had a lot more greenish spoting/coloring. They "clean up" once they start laying regularly. My blue egg laying EE's love to lay their eggs in with the Scovies so you may find your Leghorn gal doing the same.

Thanks Keeper. These eggs dont feel waxy so they mus tbe from my Leghorn or Campine. Nuts. I want baby scovies already! When are my girls gonna start laying lol???

between 5 - 7 months I think. I know taht scovies arent fully grown till 8 or so months where as reg non scovies are fully grown 4 -5 months.
