We were invited friends house for dinner last night. My wife brought potato salad. I like lots of eggs in my potato salad. We had a couple of dozen duck what in the fridge so my wife boiled up a dozen and added them. It’s about half by volume hard boiled duck eggs and it’s delicious.

    I find duck eggs to be pretty strong in the taste department! Like, more “eggy”. I think I like it!

    But the price at $12 for six (versus a pack of chicken eggs which is $1.50 for half a dozen) makes it hard to pick up.

    Do you find the duck eggs worth it?

      We have ducks. There are always two or three dozen eggs in the fridge. They are definitely far superior in baking.

      I’ve eaten all kinds of eggs. The whites of duck eggs are more toothy and the yolks stickier.

      Where do you find eggs for this price?

      It’s usually double that where I am.

        You could raise your own ducks to get duck eggs lol. Jk. Ducks are very hard to care for and require lots of work (I own 11 ducks).

          Really? I find that they are no problem at all. We keep them in their own yard during the summer then bunk them with the chickens in the winter.

            I mean, if you are versed with keeping poultry, them they’re pretty easy. But most people aren’t farmers lol. Exotic breeds like muscovies can be problematic in the winter because they’re susceptible to frostbite, but a good coating of Vaseline on their caruncles and feet keeps them protected for a few days.
