Daily Duck Egg Report

My wife made a great plate of deviled eggs from the duck eggs and everyone loved them. She said that the whites hold together better. I also give them to a friend to take to the hunting camp. They will eat anything.

especially after coming in from a day of hunting empty handed. The key here is not telling, if I make egg salad I don't tell anyone their duck eggs. and when I make omelets I will mix in some duck eggs with the chicken eggs and again don't divulge info. Some who live here don't like them but it's all in the head actually. It's all in what your use to.

She may not she's Mallard right? most won't start their broody season till spring. but worth a try I reckon.

Ya if not there's nothing lost!

Can't you scramble them and feed them back to your ducks for the nutrition?

Yeah mate I'll give that a go, I still have too many eggs though. My big girls (pekin and pekin crosses) love any egg product - their favourite is when Ive been cooking and have breadcrumb mixed with egg. I have a total of 10 ducks now but the lil guys dont like egg so much and its more of a hassle to clean it up if they dont eat it. Now that Im quite certain these girls arent going to give me any babies out of these eggs I feel like Im drowning in duck eggs!

And the muscovy and call ducks dont even lay yet!

Quote: The white are magnificent, I made a bavarian and I needed 3 kinds of egg cream, the duck eggs were absolutely magnificent for this. The bulk and shine of the whites when they were whipped was just magnificent, and they were more stable and less fragile than egg cream or stiff whites made with chicken eggs.

But mate, I dont cook like that everyday! Im getting about 11 ducks eggs a week, and thats just the 3 big girls, I have 3 call girls and one muscovy that will start up any day.
