They're generally a little off-white or cream color.

They are cream colored and weigh 20 times more than a chicken egg. Also, their shells are so thick that a person can stand on one without breaking it!

Answer 2

The eggshells are cream coloured and have a glossy surface which protects them from overheating when the nest is left unattended and exposed to the hot sun for a short period. The eggshell is very hard and a hammer and saw is needed to open it.
