You may or may not have seen a Cayuga duck before-- a beautiful all black duck that shimmers like green satin in the light.
A beautiful animal in it's own right-- but any guess what it's eggs look like?
This is my cayuga hen Sneeches' first egg of her laying life. Ever egg she lays in the future will have a progressively lighter black coating- and when she's in full production they should be a steady grey. Cool huh?

Wow! What a beautiful picture and egg. I had to look up the Cayuga duck because I had never heard of it. What a pretty duck! I still learn something new every day! Thanks for sharing!

How cool is that! I had no idea that cayuga's layed black eggs! In fact...I had no idea that ANY kind of bird layed black eggs!
Thanks for sharing!
