Of course it's okay to dye a duck egg for Easter. Traditionally, chicken eggs were the eggs of choice for making pysanky, but any egg that was handy could be used: goose, duck, swan. Today pysanka artists use duck, chicken, and goose eggs to create traditional patterns, and quail, turkey, rhea, and ostrich eggshells to make non-traditional ones. Duck eggs have a tougher outer coat to protect them, and often do not accept the dye as readily as chicken eggs. This may result in a more pastel final effect. You can try cleaning the surface of the egg really well with vinegar to see if that helps. Have fun!
