Duck eggs are dee-licious. They will have brighter orange-ish yolks. As with
chickens, when they have access to bugs and veggies, the yolks have a richer
color but in no way obnoxious flavor.
Any egg when hard-boiled will develop a greenish 'skin' around the yolks.
Maybe that's what you saw and thought odd, though it's quite normal...?

I'd be interested in ducks too... though i love my hens.

Does anyone here have any experience raising ducks?

For a couple years now my wife has been pestering me to keep a couple
chickens in the backyard for eggs.
After doing a bit of research I'm finding that something like a campbell
khaki duck is going to be lower maintenance and can actually be allowed
into the garden for pest control without destroying the garden.
But reading about it isn't quite the same as talking to someone that's
actually done it :-).

Are you looking for eggs from the ducks? I have a friend who once
raised ducks. The eggs inside were sort of green and had a strong
taste.
