so we have been waiting for the ducks to start laying their first eggs. we have 2 females one buff and one chocolate/black runner and one male white crested, im assuming its a pekin or jumbo pekin background anyways getting off track. i was thinking there would be some differences in the eggs but they look almost identical. almost all white shell with a slight maybe green tone. think one duck laid 2 eggs or they both just lay similar eggs? we want to try and hatch them, do you all think thats a good idea or wait till she lays a few more. they look like nice nice eggs to an amateur lol we already collected them and sitting in a cool dry room right now.

My Buffs lay a creamy white egg and my Runners lay blue eggs[Runner colors are black/blue and silver. ]I have heard you should wait a least a week or 2 when ducks just start up laying but you can crack one open and check for fertility. Then put them in the incubator
 
@someguyhere maybe it's just the lightening but one of those eggs looks like it have a slight blue tint?



sorry lightening isn't so good but I think you can see the difference Runner on the left Buff on the right
