How much to charge for duck eggs?

[Klatimer]

I think the problem is that people who do not have ducks see the extra bloom on duck eggs and think that it’s dirty. I watched my mom sit there trying to scrub the bloom off of a duck egg. When I asked her what she was doing she said “I’m trying to get this thick dirty layer off”. I had to explain that it wasn’t dirt, but thick bloom meant to protect the inside of the egg from bacteria and should be left on.

I had to explain that to my husband too.. he let the ducks out in the morning and washed the eggs and I had to explain you have to eat it now because it needs the bacteria on the egg to be counter stable
