duck eggs

[nakedewe]

My ducks have just begun to lay eggs and their first attempt are smaller than usual and they are grey, are they ok to eat?

Welcome to BYC!

We're glad to have you.

Yes, the eggs are fine to eat, even though they're small. Birds new to laying will often lay smaller eggs.

Thank you, however they are also gray. We have one black and one blue runner, do they each lay a different colored egg like different breeds of chickens?

Hello and Welcome To BYC! X3 on try the Duck forum, Runners will lay different colored eggs depending on their bloodlines, most lay white but some lay green/gray eggs here is a thread with a picture of some colors https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/704669/indian-runner-duck-egg-colors
