duck eggs

[bednobs]

hi, i've been given some duck eggs. For some reasn i feel a bit squeamish about them yet i dnt feel that way about chickens eggs. Anyway, can you use them in the same way as chickens eggs and do they taste the same?

oh duck eggs , bedknobs--theyre lovely
bit stronger tasting than hen eggs,especiallythe battery (cruelty) eggs
boil ,'fry or poach (my fave ) them

DONT EAT THEM....hatch them out, they're probably fertile. Put them in a basket or cardboard box near your hot water tank. Dot side of each egg with felt tip & lightly water spray daily - to keep shell supple. Turn the eggs each day one day showing dot - next day dot under, unseen for 3weeks.

Once hatched ducklings are easily fed on porridge or stale bread & water mashed with grass. Please give it a go ;)

bednobs - duck eggs make the best Yorkshire puddings you will ever taste.
You can use them in exactly the same way as hens eggs for most recipes (I don't know how the whites would turn out with meringues)

i knew there was a reason i was squeamish about them! I most certainly will not b hatching them, and have now shoved them in the fridge!
