A total of 3 hundred (60 random Samples) of duck's eggs were collected from different markets and farmers houses. The collected samples were examined physically and microbiologically. Physical examination: The obtained results revealed that 14.3% of the examined samples had dirty shell, 6.66% had thin shell and there is no creaked eggs. The results showed that 7.66% had Blood spots, 3.33% had cloudy white, 0.66% had tainted egg and 1.66% of the samples had spready yolk. Microbiological examination: Salmonella could be detected and isolated from 9 (15%) of the examined samples of duck's egg contents, while egg shells were negative for salmonella isolation. Penicillium, Aspergillus niger Asp. flavus, Asp flavus mixed with Asp niger and Penicillium mixed with Fuzarium, P.mixed with A.niger and Fuzarium mixed with A.flavus could be detected in 17.32%, 17.32%, 11.66%, 3.33%, and 6.66%, 3.33%, and 3.33%, of both duck's egg shell and egg content, respectively in a relatively equal percentage in addition to the isolation of each cladosporium and yeast (mixed) in one shell sample as well as Cladsporium was isolated from one egg content. The public health importance of isolated organisms as well as the suggested measures for improving the egg quality were discussed.
