Question about duck eggs

[cubbysan]

I also just eyeball the size of the eggs. I have bantam hens up to ducks, so all egg quantities are just "close enough" around here. Never had a problem with baked goods tasting too eggy, but then again we're very non-particular eaters!

Thanks! I just added bantams too.

I don't have ducks but I have bought duck eggs at swaps occasionally. I've never had a problem using them in recipes and having "too much" egg, but then the duck eggs I buy tend to be the same size as an extra large chicken egg from the store. I will, after learning from experience, not use a soiled duck egg. With chickens it doesn't seem to be a problem, but any duck eggs that had kind of nasty shells seem to taste off even if cleaned off. I couldn't tell you why.
