Who does this egg belong to-help!

I knew they'd be able to help @sannabelle ....

Alright y'all....the plot thickens.

Went out this morning and found these THREE. They're the right color for magpie eggs, however, I only have two hens.......

Wat is going on.

 

[CarleeAnn]

After my Swedish layed her first egg, which was dark gray, she started laying cream colored the day after!! Could still be Cayugas.

 

[sannabelle]

I'm pretty sure these came from my magpie hens- all of my cayugas are male (as far as we know), but I only have two hens...and three eggs....

 

[CarleeAnn]

I read a thread that said their duck layed five eggs in one day!!! Poor duck though, I think it passed or developed a calcium deficiency.

 

[sannabelle]

I hope that's not the case here and it's just a fluke. Poor girl.

 

[CarleeAnn]

I hope so too! I’m sure it is. Two eggs isn’t rare, just uncommon.

Magpie's can lay black eggs, especially at first. Did you say you have swedes now or previously?

Well I have cayugas and magpies, but if magpies just starting laying can lay black than the strange black egg from Tuesday must've been theirs

Cayuga will definitely lay black, but didn't you say your Cayuga were drakes?
