So they can be sort of white?

Mine are whitish. Some closer to white and some closer to a light tan.

not really, all I have ever had are always tan/buff, do you have wood ducks, they are white, never seen a white mandarin egg though

I thought mandarin's where wood ducks?

Anyway I don't have the "wood ducks" I have mandarins. and the person said they could be Ivory, I think of Ivory as off white not any shade of brown or beige.. so thats why I wanted to be clear and asked if they could be sort of white...
