Eggs

Do these eggs look like they came from two different ducks? Probably a rather silly question but I just want to be 100% sure. Only one of my ducks has been laying thus far and this morning I found the one on the right in their bin.

Since the color is so different, I'm guessing that they're from two ducks? But that's a guess, so take it with a grain of salt. The size thing could be because it's a double-yolker, though.

I have a Pekin and her eggs are consistently the same size and color as the one of the left. I believe the one on the right to be from my Khaki Campbell. @JadeComputerGal is this what your Khaki eggs look like?

Yes, basically. Her eggs aren't white, more like a creamy white to tan.

Do you think because mine are not fertile they are a different color?

No idea. I've never heard of fertility affecting shell color, and I've never seen a difference myself between fertile and infertile eggs.

Well that egg is significantly smaller than the other one so I think it is from the Khaki. My Pekin has laid 5 days in a row now.
