Mystery Egg, Came In A Barnyard Mix For Hatching! (Duck, or Chicken Egg?)

[MysteryChicken]

I have no idea what egg this is, could it be a duck egg? Ducks weren't listed in the Barnyard mix, but that's nothing new. I ordered a barnyard mix before that didn't list every breed.

Here's the mystery egg next to a chicken egg.

It could be a duck egg. I guess when it hatches you will know for sure.

I did ask the seller yesterday, but never got a reply. I'll see what it is when it hatches, but in the mean-time I would like to hear what other people think the egg might be.

A few years ago I sent some of my Single Comb Rhode Island Red eggs to a fellow. When the eggs hatched one turned out to be Rose Comb Rhode Island Red which I also have. I don't know how I accidentally put a Rose Comb egg in the box but somehow I did get one mixed in but I always send extra eggs.

Okay, so it could be a mix up then? I know accidents happen.

It could be a double yolker if it's just really big. Hope this helps

What makes you think it's not a chicken egg? Looks to be the same size in the picture you posted. It's been years since we've had duck but I remember their eggs having kind of a waxy feel to them and elongated shape. Distinct from a chicken.

It didn't look like a double yolker when I was checking air cells.

It looks very different, and I used one of my extra large eggs for comparison. I can use just a regular large egg if you'd like?
