My duck coop
One of my duck egg customers just sent a picture of these eggs and wants me to give him a call. I personally might toss the greenish looking one (because I have plenty of eggs) but upon looking it up online it seems to not be a problem. What can I tell the customer? Is a yolk that color something to be worried about?

To me, there's absolutely nothing wrong with those eggs. In fact, I bet they're delicious. I'm guessing you're ducks forage and are getting a variety of fresh food. The variety will slightly adjust the color of the yolk. I'd explain this to your customer and hopefully they will understand. If they don't believe you, tell them to Google it.
 
It’s fine. They get the greenish tinge when they eat food with higher tannin content just like they get more orange when they eat food with high carotene content.
