You were correct, the two eggs on the left were duck eggs, but so was the upper one on the right! If you look at the whiteness of the whites, you can see the chicken egg has a yellowish tinge but the duck eggs are pristine white. This is easier to see in the raw eggs. How 3 eggs became 4- one of the duck eggs had a double yolk. This happens frequently when the ducks are just beginning to lay. Now 3 of the 4 ducks are laying. The eggs are gradually increasing in size. The other difference in the duck eggs versus the chicken eggs is that they are just more. More succulent, more tasty, better texture..... more yummy. YMMV. Heavenly eggs.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495323991307537519.post-53384085398726983622011-08-28T19:18:33.740-07:002011-08-28T19:18:33.740-07:00Your veggies look wonderful Hannah!

We get our eggs from a local farmer who raises his chickens on pasture - no store-bought egg can compare in flavor, color, thickness of the shells, or excellent diet and care of the hens as those raised at home or by local farmers who do things the good, old-fashioned, natural way.<br /><br />I'm guessing the duck eggs are on the left, since the yolks are bigger, and the eggs look bigger too.<br /><br />I'm sure I'll never talk my husband into backyard chickens, but my oldest daughter has 5 young hens she got this spring. They are so fun to watch, and my granddaughter loves them. I'm glad she will get to grow up with backyard chickens and enjoy their delicious, healthful eggs.garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.com
