We are doing a little waddle dance
here at the farm.
The ducks are excited
and so are we!!!

Three grey duck eggs!
Our first.
Raising this flock of ducks has been such a pleasure.
We still have the whole flock of 18...
no casualties!
Have you ever eaten a duck egg?
They taste just slightly stronger than chicken eggs,
with a slightly larger, orange yolk
that stands up nice and tall when cracked in the pan.
Duck eggs are slightly higher in fat and cholesterol.
They have more albumen in the whites than chicken eggs,
(albumen is the protein in the whites)
and this causes them to cook up higher,
making duck eggs superior for baking.

When not using them for baking,
we will most likely hard boil these eggs

I've heard your description about duck eggs before. I love my fresh chicken eggs, but don't like anything too 'eggy'. Does that make sense?
I'd have to use them for baking all the time.
When Aimee and I were in Ireland last Christmas (Ireland is home for her), we visited a farmers market and saw buttered eggs, both chicken and duck. We didn't try them, but her mother said they were very nice compared to plain eggs. I guess they soak the raw eggs in butter to infuse them with the flavor. Have you ever tried that?
