Pekin egg size. Just got order in

[Emmalion]

So I just got my order in of Pekin Duck eggs and one is WAY bigger than the rest. Any idea of what it is or if it is even a Pekin egg?

I contacted the seller and sent the pics as well. Hoping I may have just got someone elses order by mistake but I figure I would ask the experts of their opinion about the egg

I have 5 normal size eggs but I unpacked this bad boy.

1 of my Pekins lays eggs like that..just HUGE. I lopened a few and found them to be double yolkers. Not all that good if you are going to incubate them.

I was hoping for just a double yolk. I was thinking I got some kind of goose egg in the order. I am going to be incubating them and I will put this on in too. I am just going to have to rig up the turner so it will not fall out. lol

Poor Seller, Over size eggs don't hatch good same with small.

The good thing is she did pack them great and I got no cracks or broken. This is my first time buying shipped eggs.

I understand that larger eggs along with the smaller eggs don't hatch well. But I was not expecting that egg that is for sure.

Ok seller got back to me about the egg.

Its a dewlap african goose egg. She was unable to fill the whole order of 6 eggs and felt bad about it so she added in a a goose

Now I gotta figure out how to incubate that bad boy.

Thanks for your help guys.
