Selling duck eggs - Price?

[Canadian Wind]

No I didn't start selling them, should I not wash them before selling?

What do you do when they are full of poop, I'm curious and leaarning!

In Europe, eggs are not washed or refrigerated. I do the same.

Washing them removes the bloom, the protective coating on them, thus why they need refrigeration.

For mine, I gently brush off the dried muck. If they're really bad, I wash just before using.

Thanks for the information

I'm not sure if this information will be useful, but since the topic exists, I'll write about it too. In Russia, there is a legislative ban on the sale of waterfowl eggs for food purposes. The only exception is the use of completely fresh (without storage or transportation) eggs for baking bakery products at high temperatures (over 200 degrees Celsius). If I'm not mistaken, this is baking some kind of thin, completely baked dry biscuits. Accordingly, duck and goose eggs can only be sold here for incubation purposes.

At the same time, the owner himself has the right to eat these eggs, the law does not prohibit it. But with the proviso that the farm is prosperous and there have been no cases of salmonella infection.

Idk about useful but holy moly is this interesting!

I have SO many questions that are so not appropriate for this thread.

Can I ask why there is this ban? What would happen if you are caught selling eggs to the neighbors? Is there some sort of underground selling of eggs? And if you are not allowed to use them for food, what can you use them for?

I wonder if the current chicken egg shortage and rise in chicken egg prices (now around 4.15$ a dozen in the US) will affect the price or value of (and interest in) duck eggs. If chicken eggs are going for over 4$ a dozen in grocery stores, free run eggs must be around 5-6$? And maybe 6-8$ or more for duck eggs?

In Hawaii I’m selling duck eggs for $10/dozen and I cannot keep up with demand. I have considered raising the price and some people already have
