Technically, eggs decorated in this way would be called batik eggs. Ukrainians call this sort of decorated egg a pysanka. Other Eastern European nationalities also decorate eggs in this manner, and give them various names:
* Belarusians (pisanka) * Bulgarians (писано яйце, pisano yaytse) * Czechs (kraslice) * Lithuanians (margutis) * Poles (pisanka) * Romanians (ouă vopsite, incondeiate or impistrite) * Serbs (pisanica) * Slovaks (kraslica) * Slovenes (pisanica or pirh)

Why does vinegar make egg dye stronger?
The dye binds to the protein in an egg shell; this is an animal protein, similar to silk or wool. The same types of dyes that work on silk or wool will also dye eggs. The dye molecules bind, both directly and via hydrogen bonds, to protein molecules in the eggshell. The dyes used to dye eggs are acid dyes, called that because they work best in an acid environment. Vinegar is an acid, and adding it to the dye solution makes it more acid, and potentiates both types of binding.

Is it okay to dye a duck egg for Easter?
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!
