Green color on shell

[SRagno]

I have 4 female ducks. Two that have been laying for 2 years then 2 that have been laying since May of this year or so. ALL of their eggs are white. Not having changed a thing in their diet, one has, for the past 2 days, been laying eggs with a green color on it?? And I do see DARK green poop a bit here and there. The green color does wash off for the most part, but I wanted to know if this was an indication of her getting sick. She does not act any differently currently than before. Please advise. Thanks, Stacy

I'm not at all familiar with ducks, but as a general rule across many species, weird-colored poop is often related to a change in diet.

What have your ducks been eating lately that they might not have been eating previously?

You see that's the thing, nothing that I know of. They've been forging in the same yard for years now, well, the two older ones, and the younger ones I've had them since 12-10-21. They are spoiled they've gotten peas every morning and the regular duck pellets and the same calcium shells for this whole time. Then all of a sudden one of them gives me an Easter egg! I'm just alarmed.

Which type of duck?

I'm not sure which of the four it is just yet. I don't think that has anything to do with it, though. They have been normal (white) until just the other day. I have a khaki campbell, a buff, and two that are hybrids of my khaki Campbell and a male Pekin.
