We have 3 mallard hens and 1 pekin which we are pretty sure is a hen, no drake tail. All were hatched end of March so just over 5 months old. We have no eggs from pekin yet but the mallards are laying like wild fire everywhere - chickens nest box, middle of yard and today found about 5 in a make shift nest one must have created deep under a boxwood like bush.
A co-worker told me she hatched mallard eggs in a Styrofoam cooler that she kept at a humid 90 degrees. Thus far this has not worked for us in terms of hatching. Additionally because we only have wild mallard drakes in neighboring creek unsure if eggs are fertile.
We are hesitate to eat the mallard eggs, I know it's ok but seriously what is best way to cook and do they have any unusual taste?
They are a little tricky to break open without breaking the yolk
