Do ducks lay light green eggs?

Why is it an undesirable throwback trait? What does that mean?

I don't know why it's an undesirable trait, but I did read somewhere that some Campbell derived breeds will lay the green eggs as a throw back to the Campbell background (Saxony and Harlequin come to mind). Personally, I think it's kind of cool.

I do sell my duck eggs.

I'm not sure, but I think it has something to do with show quality

I've just got a small flock of pet ducks, and don't show my birds, so I was thrilled with the color of the eggs.

The egg on the right is the light green egg.

My Runner and Runner mix both laid iridescent bluish green eggs.

No, because nobody's laying right now.

Wish I would have thought of it earlier. They were quite striking next to the pearly whites that my Magpie laid.
