Hey, guys!

When baking, do you generally use one duck egg for every two chicken eggs the recipe calls for? Assuming you have non-call ducks.

I assume one duck egg weighs 70 grams.

These are chicken egg weights:

I have three breeds Cayuga, khaki Campbell, and Rouen. It is either Rouen or khaki because it is white. My Cayuga lay blue eggs.
