Well all my waterfowl seem to be laying and are the only ones! I have young light breed duck and medium weight goose. I know I am getting some pullet sized duck eggs then some massive ones that are double yolkers. I think I may have some goose eggs starting as they are huge but look really similar.

My question is I assume they will be much bigger? Are they usually pure white vs the tint of duck eggs? Also I read somewhere they dont have the same wax coating the ducks do.

Any thoughts would be great!

I find the duck eggs have a waxy coating the goose eggs not. Also the shells on the goose eggs seem much thicker to me. Depending on the duck will also be a difference in color, my goose eggs were chalk white, while my duck eggs were more of an creamy white color or green.

I find the same. Goose eggs are chalky looking, while the ducks are more glossy. And large goose eggs are more oblong. Not sure about mediums.
Once cracked open you can really tell the difference.
