Weird one today - black egg found with the duck eggs - what can it be?

I sometimes get a really dark one. They are ok to eat just dont look good in the for sale box!

A photo would be good. Never seen a black egg of any kind.

what breed is it?

It was dark-brown and when I cracked it (couldn't resist). the yolk and white were all runny together. It almost looked like it had been formed in a pile of duck poo - as if the shell had absorbed the dark poo!!

Weird - meant to take a photo of it but couldn't find the card for the camera - duh

the ducks are Aylesburys - so big white eggs normally

Weird! Cayugas lay black eggs but not usually Aylesburys

Here we go - I fished it out of the compost bin! Hope no-one is eating their breakfast....
