same where, we planned on only raising meat chickens, then decided to get a few layers (6 at the time) then ordered 30 layers (it was cheaper to get so many) had too many sold half of them, then we got some pet chickens then i decided i wanted ducks and geese. i have to fight my self every day not to get turkeys lol.I'm sure part of the reluctance of eggs is more about not using the eggs we get already rather then prejudice against duck eggs. I give away 3-5 dozen eggs a week (16-17 chickens long story). However I love baking and duck eggs sound like they would take my cookies to a whole new level of fluffyness. Currently I use 3 chicken eggs when it calls for 2.
Now what to get...
No one told me chicken math could lead to ducks. These birds should come with a warning label!
but on topic we only had 6 duck eggs (got them from a friend to try before we got ducks) and to be honest the omelets we made (2) where really good tasted like a chicken egg but at the same time it was not a chicken egg flavor (really weird to say but true) then we used the others for baking and i would say (we used half chicken half duck eggs) they where softer (we made a loaf of bread). but there great to be honest can't wait for mine to start laying duck eggs.
