Someone brought me these duck eggs that were in a neighborhood by a pond at the base of a tree and the tree needed to be removed and they didn’t want the eggs broken, so I am hatching them. The eggs are very large and greenish blue color. Louisiana

Thank you. I was not aware of that. I just want those babies to live, that is why I agreed to hatching them. Otherwise the eggs would have been destroyed. I will search into a rescue.
Great! Good thing you rescued those little babies ❤ So cute! Be sure to take lots of photos before taking them to the rescue 😂
 
Green head duck could be referring to mallard unless there's a duck that's actually called green head which I'm not familiar with. But a pekins and mallard could make a baby that looks like that pekins lay white eggs which is how the eggs look to me in the picture though you said they are greenish blue so that would indicate mallard eggs. Here's a couple pics of my mix babies all have two eyestripes taking after their Rouen father though.

Those are probably Mallards. But um, its kinda illegal to remove wild duck eggs. Not your fault, just something to be aware of. Can you get them to a rescue?
