Looks like a ready made easter basket! Love the speckled egg, that is really cool. Reminds me of wild duck & turkey eggs.

The really big ones are duck eggs. I have some mini duck eggs there too but they are under the chicken eggs because they got collected first.

I love the speckles. It is a white/black ara rooster crossed with a RIR hen who layes brown eggs with darkers spots (like this one but brown on brown). The hen is white with black points and what looks like a misting of rust over it all. Very intersting combination.
