Duck raiser who also raise chicken along side

How do you tell the eggs apart???

Do your ducks lay where your chickens lay?

Our chickens go in their coop in their boxes or just beside them. Today I found an extra brown egg (could be from one of my new pullets though) and I found an extra white egg.

We have Pekin (2 male and female), Khaki Campbell (2 male possibly and a female) and Mallard (2 female). What color will their eggs be, where would they lay and how big will their first eggs be?

All of them along with our chickens are all in two runs that come out into one large run.

The duck eggs will be larger than the rest and will have silky smooth feeling

Ducks eggs are big, here chicken egg on the left, duck on the right.

Well I am looking at the 8 eggs I got out of the coop today, and all of them look like chicken eggs, but one is smooth and shiny, but it is nearly the size of my Fancy Girl's egg. She is my white layer. The egg that looks like it is an off white, but smooth and shiny. Two of my other chickens lay a pink egg, and it kinda looks like theirs but I have 2 for today. Oh this is going to be confusing and I sell the eggs. Do I just tell people there may be some duck eggs in the cartons???

Here is what we got today. I am thinking that shiny one (lower left) may be a duck egg?? The one beside it I am pretty sure belongs to my white egg layer

They will be an off white I will find pics though

All of them? All 3 breeds?
