Nobody knows for definite, but people think that it is to do with the salt, because they are salted ducks!
The shell of a hen's egg is typically thinner and more brittle compared to the shells of duck or goose eggs. Duck and goose eggs have thicker and harder shells to provide protection for the larger eggs they lay.
Large, pale white---and they are larger than chicken eggs and have thick shells
Salted eggs are made by soaking fresh duck eggs in a brine solution (usually salt and water) for a few weeks. The eggs absorb the salt, creating a flavorful and preserved product. After the soaking period, the eggs are boiled, peeled, and ready to eat.
The famous area for salted eggs is Pateros. Yet, presently, you can get salted eggs anywhere.
Many predators are known to eat duck eggs from nests while leaving the shells behind. Common culprits include raccoons, snakes, crows, and certain species of birds like magpies. These animals often consume the contents of the eggs, discarding the empty shells nearby, which can make it easier to identify the source of the egg predation.
In order to make salted eggs you will need 8 chicken or duck eggs, 1 cup of salt and 4 cups of water. Place the water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Then add the salt and stir until the salt dissolves. Remove the water and set aside. Place the eggs in a jar and then pour the cooled water over them. Cover the eggs and store in a dark area for 3 weeks.
Left unprotected, local dogs or raccoons will rob the nest. Sorry.

The duck laid eggs in its nest before leaving.
Yes. Penguins are birds, and birds reproduce by laying eggs with hard shells. This is different from the eggs of reptiles and monotremes, which have leathery shells.
No they do not have soft shells
