i don't know about 'whodunnit', but regarding the taste and texture of duck eggs...i find the taste to be almost identical but the texture is funky for scrambled eggs. they make great fried, baked and boiled eggs, awesome for baking cakes, pastries etc.

so lucky you are!

Hummm....I have been looking on the net trying to find pictures and I found one site where a guy had only runners and got both white AND green eggs.

I guess it could be Janet's egg. Slightly off white is normal for a khaki, right?

I am ruling out Lana (the Buff) because her eggs should be light brown and she isn't due to be laying yet. (Seasonal layer)

Sound about right to you guys?

Congrats! First eggs are awesome!

There was another one waiting for me this morning.

Hummmmmmm....

I guess until the others start to lay, I am going to assume it is Janet, the khaki that is laying the eggs. I don't think there is enough "green" tint to it to be a runner egg. It's more of a very slight off white.

I'd bet it's the khaki...mine looked just like yours! And YUMMM!

 

[Wifezilla]

Yes...yum!

And thanks for posting those pics Dances with Ducks. I look forward to being able to compare my khaki egg with a runner and a buff egg!

I just remembered . . . when the first eggs came I wasn't at all sure who's was who's. I finally propped a board up in their house overnight. It was only about a foot wide but they each stayed on their side all night and in the morning I could see which hen the egg was with. Had to do that twice to sort out the three hens.
