Recently I have been finding eggs on the ground of my chicken coop? I have a female duck along with a drake which are almost 6 months old, I also have 5 other hens. I don‘t know whether it‘s my duck which has recently started laying eggs or if it’s just a chicken which is laying eggs on the ground (We have plenty of hen boxes). The eggs appear to have a harder shell, lighter colour and they are also smaller than our chicken eggs, which is making me unsure if it is a duck egg as I have heard they lay bigger eggs? Is there any way to tell who’s egg it is???
Here is a photo of the egg next to one of our chicken‘s egg (On the left)
