Muscovy eggs

[DawnB]

Can someone tell me or post a pic of a typical muscovy egg. Trying to distinguish it from my chicken eggs...former owner said they were "paler/whiter" than the barred rock hen eggs. I get some pretty large chicken eggs, so I can't tell just by size.

Thanks so much!

Muscovy (french white), chicken, Silver Appleyard duck

duck eggs dont feel to the touch anything like chicken eggs. They often have a waxy like feel, or even porcelain like feel

Your barred rocks should be laying brown eggs like the middle egg in Celtic's pic. Well tan to brown at least. Muscovy eggs in my experience are an off white color. The duck eggs will also be larger than your chickens eggs.

Sorry for all the questions...and thanks for the pics...exactly what I needed. So, I've only had these birds since Sept. Do muscovies lay all year or only spring through summer like geese?

Thanks again...very helpful.

They are seasonal layers but some people have muscovy that lay for most of the year.
