What do you use your duck eggs for?

I can't imagine that anyone who ate a duck egg would ever eat a chicken egg again

My ducks aren't laying yet, but I have every intention of eating them when they do. And I also hope they'll make ducklings.... Why would someone keep ducks who didn't intend on eating duck eggs? They're so much wetter and dirtier than chickens (but endlessly more entertaining).

Well, I'm vegan so I won't eat eggs. I just have ducks as pets. They make very good gardening companions as I love to be outside.

I use mine for baking, I personally don't enjoy the way they taste as just eggs, but they make baked goods SO MUCH FLUFFIER! One time I was baking cookies, forgot the baking soda and didn't realize until they were in the oven and I was putting away the ingredients. Moment of panic. I check on the cookies and they look like NORMAL COOKIES! The duck eggs were enough to make the cookies look like I made them with chicken eggs and baking soda... no, they didn't taste as good as they usually did but duck eggs are THE BEST for baking.

Why? Are you trying to hatch them?

Our neighbor uses them for baking mainly. I can't wait to try one for the first time. My baby blue swedes should be laying hopefully before winter sets in!!

Oh blue swedes are the BEST! Mine didn't lay for awhile though, you might have to wait until next spring to get eggs...

When I was at Tractor Supply the other day grabbing another Nurture Right 360 Incubator one of the workers asked me if I had ducks (I like to remove the entire turner from the Nurture Right Incubators, lay down a rubber mat and use them as emergency units that I keep warmed up for hatch days). Anyways, when I told them that I do have ducks they then asked me what I do with the eggs. They then went on to say that their family throws them out into the woods because "duck eggs taste like fish". Now I have never had a duck egg "taste like fish" in fact, when people who have never had a duck egg in their life come to stay with us they end up loving duck eggs and ask for my recipes. I guess this is more of a discussion than anything, but the TSC conversation had me curious about what everyone does with your duck eggs? Do you use them to bake and cook? Do you toss them? Purely incubation purposes? Compost for your garden? Some other creative use?

Duck eggs are excellent for baking. The best cakes my mother ever made were when she used duck eggs. Anyone who says duck eggs taste like fish has never tasted one.
