Actually, my sister-in-law fancies herself a baker. She works at Albertson's in the bakery and also bakes really nice cakes for people for birthdays, etc. She has done this for years! I offered her some eggs, for FREE, and nope, she wouldn't even try them. Can you believe it? Her loss, as far as I'm concerned. My husband (her brother) has baked two cakes with the duck eggs now. They were pound cakes and they came out so much better than when he does them with chicken eggs. Now that we have ducks, we will no longer be buying store bought chicken eggs like we were. They truly were much better cakes. I couldn't believe the difference.

Anyway, so even a "baker" didn't want the duck eggs. Sigh....

I had two female ducks about 25 years ago -- the eggs were absolutely fabulous.

What is wrong with these people? They don't know whay they're missing.

Perhaps the orginal poster could offer to sell her eggs to a local, high-end restaurant, the type where the chef might have a bit of panache and be willing to use an out of the mainstream ingredient.

I have 4 hens, and, while the fresh eggs are better than grocery store eggs, they are nowhere near the flavor of duck eggs.

I just bought 4 ducklings, that are now not quite 4 weeks old. Looking forward to next year, and hoping that at least 2, if not 3 of them, will be females, but it is just a crapshoot, of course.

One marketing trick the duck lady used to get people to try her eggs at the farmer's market. She teamed up with a sausage maker and a baker to offer a breakfast special sample with duck eggs, tiny sausage and toast from fresh baked bread. Health rules prevent selling of prepared food at the market but samples are allowed.
6:30AM people there before breakfast to get first pick of the produce. slice of toast with an egg and a tiny sausage for free! I would had taken one if they told me it was a crow's egg! These 3 would be out of samples and have a lot of orders by 7AM.

I only have one hen laying, so I don't get enough to sell them by the dozen yet, but I do include one or two with my cartons of chicken eggs sometimes. I had to give a few away for free to get folks to try them, but now they beat down my door for the duck eggs! I'm selling mostly to Hispanics, and they've all loved them, but none of my customers have rejected the duck eggs so far, especially after a sample. And they ARE great for baking. Why don't you try giving folks samples of cake made with duck eggs and say, "See! This is how your baked goods will taste!"

And I agree - what's wrong with people? An egg is an egg.
