Do you mean for the colours???? I havent seen one before...So it would be great if someone has a reference to one.

Some ducks egg look to have a coating on them- almost like a thin coating of wax. Muscovy eggs are most like this..But I have found some other duck eggs- that do have a different finish than normal chicken eggs.

Duck eggs 'feel' different than chicken eggs, they are much smoother. Muscovy eggs are very glossy, almost like they have oil on them. I'm not sure what you are asking for? Did you find eggs, and are unsure of what they are?

I don't know if you could tell breed but I know in most cases duck eggs are larger than chicken eggs, so if you have a chicken egg in your fridge, compare the size and that should at least tell you wether or not their duck eggs.

Duck eggs are very pointy and oblong if that helps chicken eggs are very round

I bought eggs at auction. im pretty sure theyre duck because size and comparison. i just meant can i tell what kind of duck based on color? theyre supposed to hatch today (day 28) but if they dont, i dont want to throw them out incase theyre just late hatchers like muskovy. their egg isnt full all the way like its supposed to be but i know theyre good. i got them at auction, not found.
