What color egg pekin duck lay? I thought Pekin ducks lays white egg? From left to right ... Polish chicken egg, duck(?) and faverrolles chicken egg. The color of the duck egg just doesn't look right to me. Guess I expected to be like store bought white. Or is something wrong with my duck?

Pekins typically lay cream (not as bright white as storebought chicken eggs). The middle definitely looks like a duck egg, typically what muscovy lay at the start of laying cycle. If you only have pekins, it's a duck egg for sure and will fade with the laying cycle to just off white/cream color
