from the side by side, I would also agree that they look like chicken eggs.

The didn't enclose a note saying what they are? That's odd.

Yes, the mystery swaps include ducks and turkeys and Guineas and geese. That's definitely not turkey or goose egg. The one for August was not separating into classifications, so you could get anything at all. Previous mytery swaps were divided into classes: pure chickens, mixed breed chickens, other (duck goose turkey guinea)

Aren't you supposed to send an email that you received your eggs? Who are you supposed to say sent them? If you know who sent them, you can ask what they are.

I PM'd the BYC'er I "think" my eggs are from, haven't heard back from her yet.

After talking to another BYC'er, that I think got eggs from the same lady I did, we think they're Polish. But I won't know until another 20 days.

There is a very simple way to tell if they are duck or chicken eggs. You cant tell by size or shape. The duck eggs always have a "waxy" coating on them. The chicken eggs are dry. All you have to do to understand this is lightly scratch a chicken egg and then do the same with the egg in question. You can easily tell by this method.
