Got another one this morning! :D Drew wants me to save it so he can try them. He had to work today but hopefully we will get another one tomorrow so I can cook them up for him.

How does it taste compared to a chicken egg? I'd like to try a duck egg!

Its slightly larger, I think they are creamier, the taste is the same. I guess if you boil them they can get rubbery but I haven't done that yet.

The rubbery part kind of sounds nasty :lol:

Have you ever hatched any duck eggs?

I have never hatched any, these are my first ducks that I've kept for eggs. I am hoping they will take it upon themselves to raise some :)

These are my ducks. I have a trio of Cayugas and this beige mutt duck. The beige one is the first layer :)

I hope they raise some for you, that would be awesome! They're all pretty, the beige looks kinda funny being the only non black though haha. I was planning on getting some Cayuga's this year along with some Swedish. I've never had Cayuga's before, how do you like them?

I would like they better if they would lay some eggs :p But really I can't expect that much from them because they are young still. I bought them from a family who did the typical thing and bought their daughters ducklings, then realised how dirty they are. They aren't friendly but they will approach you if you have food. They are fairly quiet and wonderful eye candy!

I hope they raise a batch or two. I would love more ducks and I could give them away or sell them.
