Duck Eggs, what should I do with them

[LauraSBale]

I have 2 girls that are laying now, there is 6 nice duck eggs in the coop in a nice little nest, but no is set on them, should i just leave them or take them out?

Yep i was thinking about making some cookies with them.

I just wasn't sure if i should leave them for a day to see if someone will set on them or just pull them

Baking is where duck eggs show their superiority.

Then again, if you want more ducks, you might have to wait until they have a dozen or so and see if they set. What kind of ducks are they?

I don't think you'd make much money on selling them. I personally wouldn't pay much if any more than shipping for mutt eggs. But they are great in baking. I would say eat them. You can always let them set later!

What is different about duck eggs that make them better for baking? I have read this several times before and always wondered about it.
