Well, ducks hatch from duck eggs and chickens...

You already know that. We have ducks and chickens and get eggs from both. Duck eggs are a bit larger and have harder shells. They tend to be off-white where as chicken eggs are white, green, blue, and brown. In baking and cooking, duck eggs are a better consistency and lead to a superior product. Cakes will have a richer texture and retain moisture better. When eating them straight, such as scrambled, duck eggs have a stronger flavor which some people that are used to chicken eggs may not care for.

The names duck and goose have ben given to different species across the world and there is no consistant logic to what bird got what name. Sheld-ducks are closley related to sheldgeese rather than "conventional" ducks, pygmy geese are ducks, maned geese aren't geese. About the only rule of thumb, which does not work in all cases, is that geese tend to be large and to graze so have beaks adapted to grazing. Obvious exception - wigeon (ducks) graze.
