Is salmonella common in ducks?

[DucksOhio]

hi all, just curious, is salmonella common in duck eggs? My neighbors have a lovely Newfoundland who loves to eat fresh duck eggs raw. My neighbors encourage this. One of their non-duck friends said that this will give the dog salmonella. I only give the dog very fresh, washed eggs.

I don't think it's that common.

I’ve fed fresh raw duck eggs to my dogs and none have been sick. I even put fresh raw egg in my smoothie and haven’t gotten sick. I am not telling anyone to do this that is up to the individual.
