We found our first duck egg two days ago. Then another one today.
We only have 1 Rouen hen and the rest are Runners.

It is a pretty big egg. Can anybody tell me what size Rouen and Runner duck eggs are?

Can't upload any pictures at this time, sorry.
 
Well my rouen eggs are pearl color and are larger then a chicken egg. I got some runner ducks eggs on a trade and they are like a regular size chicken egg and are green in color. Not sure all ducks lay same colored eggs saw someone post that there rouens lade a green eggs. hope this helps.
 
I would guess since Rouens are such large birds that their eggs would be bigger than a runner's, although it all depends on the individual really...
 
2 of my 3 runners will lay some pretty big eggs... Jumbo or larger sized. Not often are they that huge, but they normally seem to be a large - xlarge egg size
