Duck Eggs

[urlocalcrazychickenlady]

Blood in my Duck eggs? Almost every egg has a bit of blood in it from one of my magpies. Is this normal? What causes it?

Also… I thought magpie ducks were supposed to lay blue eggs? I've only been getting off-white eggs from them, as well as my crested.

Not sure about the egg color, the blood inside is usually from ruptured blood vessels in the oviduct. I see it more in flighty birds. If it's in every egg the hen lays it just may be what she does each time. There may be a defect in the wall of the oviduct.
