Eating Duck Eggs for breakfast-First time Eating Them!!!

Duck eggs (mine are call eggs, so smallish) make EXCELLENT Butterscotch Pie! So yummy and creamy! Sounds like a good project this weekend.
 
I am so excited!!! My runners are about 16 weeks old and I am anxiously awaiting my turn for a first egg! I love the pics! It makes me want them even more!!!

I remember the first time I ate my first duck eggs, ( a muscovy egg) I was so excited because they were so big! I cracked them open and cooked them sunny side up. First, I had to smell it, smelled like an egg! I dipped my toast inside............ tasted like an egg, I was pretty impressed until about 1/2 hour after eating it, it left a really bad after taste in my mouth, wasnt sure if I had just eaten an egg or licked the bottom of a chicken coop, but the after taste was nasty! I was determined to get the best out of the eggs, I use them for baking and cooking all the tim, love um that way, also "salted". I get about 1/2 dozen of them a day, so the excess that I have, I sell, people are willing to pay $10 a dozen fresh, or $20 a dozen salted.

I love duck eggs, too. I've never experienced an after taste, but I do feel uncomfortably full after eating them. I think they are just so rich they make me a little over full or something. They are wonderful in egg salad, cakes, fried, scrambled. Never tried them in cornbread, but I do LOVE cornbread, so will have to try that.
 
The proteins in duck eggs are different from chicken eggs. It's rare, but some folks who can eat chicken eggs just fine are allergic to duck eggs (and vice versa)--is it possible that the "overfull" feeling or the aftertaste is a slight allergic reaction to the proteins?
 
Do different breed duck eggs taste different? Example, do pekin eggs taste better or worse than mallard?

I like duck eggs. Wonder how you find out, short of an allergy test?

Edited to ad, I just did a quick search. From what I'm reading, it's possible to have an intolerance rather than a true allergy to them, which might cause the slightly sick feeling. Of course, this is not from the mouth of a Dr., so who knows. Sounds plausible, though.

And Saxony and Silver Appleyard duck eggs taste the same to me, but can't speak for other breeds yet.
