Geese won't stop honking!

It does sound like a duck egg. Maybe a wild duck stopped by, but possibly at least one of those "drakes" is an imposter.

My ducks lay eggs right through fall, into winter and only take a two-month break.

Goose eggs are big (not as big as an ostrich's, but pretty big) with a very thick shell. I used to give a couple of goose eggs to the neighbor kids when they were younger, and told them they were dinosaur eggs.

They knew I was joking, of course, and every Easter they came over for some "dinosaur" eggs to dye and decorate.

I'm so glad that your geese are quieter now. Maybe you could add some insulation to the inside of their coop-shelter to muffle the sound a bit more? Even though it's not far from the neighbors' house, every little bit of sound muffling helps.

OMG its a wild duck and she laid her second egg today. I put some straw in there and put the eggs in but she keeps laying the eggs randomly in the back yard.

Lol! That is very funny. She may be a solo, unmated young duck that just needs a place to "unload" her unfertilized eggs. Seeing your waterfowl she probably was attracted to them, like hunters' decoys, and just left her eggs there.
Then again, she might be consorting with your drakes.

If she is, maybe she'll get more domestic and put a nest together.

haha I hope she does
