First ever Duck egg for us yesterday pic on our blog here http://dallascriftins.blogspot.co.uk/
It was laid approx 16:30-17:00 yesterday evening beside the pond, it was still warm when I picked it up
Is that an odd time for a Duck to lay an egg?
Or perhaps because we are still in the depth of Winter the first eggs will come at all sorts of odd times.
This morning I found another one almost in the same place again warm but it was a soft egg with hardly any shell.
We broke it in to a cup and it smelled slightly pungent the white was a little cloudy as well so I gave it to the dog
I do not think I have ever eaten or cooked with Duck eggs,
Do Duck eggs smell from time to time?
If so is that ok?
We did then break the hard shelled egg from yesterday into a separate cup no smell from that one so probably going to be an Omelet later!.
I think both came from our Runners rather than from the Appleyards
