JDog Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) This egg, the larger one of the two pictured, was found in the middle of nowhere on my walk with the dogs this morning. It is about four times the volume of the chicken egg. Edited April 2, 2019 by JDog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panoma1 Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Swan without the discolouration (green) caused by the nesting materials? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Swan or goose. Lots of greylags wandering about some of my areas at the moment looking for places to set up nest sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilksy II Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 I think it’s a hens egg and that’s a Banty egg next to it and all the fruit is miniature like those marzipan sweets! What do I win???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsh man Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 If you haven't got any Swans in the area I would go along with a goose egg , weather it is is a Canada , Grey lag or Egyptian goose that I can't say . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Crested and Dabchicks. They even cover their eggs with nest material when not incubating. ***** also have badly stained eggs. Mute Swans are naturally Blueish to Greenish. That looks like a Goose egg. Starlings often lay a single egg on the ground when they can't make it back to thier nests in time! Maybe this is the case with your egg? Dont do me for swearing again the word starred out is a bird similar to a Cormarant that sounds like a sex act ! Edited April 2, 2019 by mickyh A non swear word filtered.

Old Boggy Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 I'd also go with goose egg. Which reminds me of a favourite breakfast. Goose egg boiled for 7 1/2 to 8 minutes with black pepper and lightly steamed asparagus, just coming into season (or sparrow grass to you Norfolkians) dipped in the runny yolk. Yum yum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
