➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

[NanaKat]

What is the basic shelf life of duck eggs? Like I have a bunch that are older that I just haven't gotten around to eating. I know fresh chicken eggs can last quite a while but I'm not quite sure about duck eggs. I'm thinking of scrambling up a bunch for the chickens and ducks.

Refridgerated they last a long time like chicken eggs. Around here eggs don't last long. We eat them, cook some daily for the dogs and I send to cartons to family and a few elderly neighbors. I'm getting 15 to 19 duck eggs a day. Don't have enough space to store them so boil a bunch for the chickens twice a week...smash them and give shells and all.
Eggshells get dried in the oven and crushed for the garden.

@Tesumph we miss you. Hope you're doing okay.

So they didn't over cook or just not enough for you to adjust the timing?

Next time, I'll probably do a minute less but they weren't overdone. No yucky gray ring.

Called my numbers on the Easter HAL...last five chicks are fluffing in the hatcher.
Set 73
Moved 54 to lockdown
Hatched 46 but lost on to chill
Total 45 live chicks.

I'm leaving the rest of the eggs in hatcher until tomorrow just because I have had really late bloomers a few times.
Then, the duck eggs will go in lockdown after I sterilize the hatching tray tomorrow.

That's a lot of chicks!! What do you do with them all?
If I asked this before, I'm sorry... It was a crazy weekend and my brain is scrambled

Hmm.. I don't refrigerate my chicken eggs so I haven't been refrigerating my duck eggs. I guess I will probably be tossing quite a few eggs. Whoops!

No she is a wonderful mother. I can't keep every poult that is hatched and it helps pay for the feed.

Ohh that makes sense.

Lords and Ladles on Netflix.

They cook rabbit often.
Pheasants too.

My new favorite show.

The show Cooks like how they did back in the 18th century.

It's very interesting.
I will watch all 12 episodes this week.
