Not to sure on that, I suspect it depends on where you insert them. :>)

I often get duck eggs when trout fishing , frequently roll into the river out of nests. If they sink they're fine but leave the floaters alone.
Very rich ,make wicked sponge cakes .

Dougie, they are richer than chook eggs...if you have a few PUREBRED Khaki Campbells they will supply you with more than enough eggs and duck meat...

Got a few swan eggs that way on lake Tarawera. They made a awesome breakfast!!!

Am I the only one with a hankering for duck eggs about now? *looks at lunchbox only to see vegemite sandwiches*

At least your sandwiches are Vegemite and not Marmite Ryan

To be fair I quite like the NZ Marmite, I can't say the same for the SA'n version for some reason though. Vegemite is a suitable substitute when Marmite isn't available - as was the case recently. This jar is almost finished... the vitamin B is coursing through my veins as I type this...

You can't beat duck eggs on toast spread with vegemite then a squirt of watties



The yolks are brighter Dougie and the eggs are ritcher in flavour,they make a good sponge cake too.

Possom trapper has 7 ducks....make him an offer

Urrrrgh, this obsession with tomato sauce on everything

Crikey Dundee I reckon if Gordon Ramsay saw everything you have watties with he would be sitting in the corner of the kitchen having a nervous breakdown and sucking his thumb......now that would be some funny shit to see

I'm hungry for eggs hard out now!!!!!

Heathen, heathen, heathen. Dundee have I ever called you a heathen for all the bloody tomato sauce you use?

There is a very popular street food in the philippines called Balut which is my personal favourite way to eat a duck egg, although not for the feint hearted!
The eggs are fertilized and allow to grow for up to a few weeks before being boiled.
Just...don't look at it and it's f*cking delicious!

As for more western uses, hollandaise made with duck yolks is definitely the best version i have ever tasted.

Theres 8 ducks here Dougie,one was AWOL down at the creek for two months but promptly came home when duck shooting started.



I think i'll pass on Balut
