Have you tried duck eggs? Do you like them less than, as much, or better than chicken eggs? Would you buy them if you saw them in the store?
I ask because I’ve got a couple of ducks who’ve not yet started laying eggs and was wondering how hard selling their eggs will be and if I should get some more.
I’ve purchased them at the farmer’s market. They’re a little bigger than chicken eggs and have somewhat rubbery shells, so they bend a bit before you can crack them.
I never just boiled one up and ate it, but I did use them in baking and didn’t detect any difference compared to chicken eggs.
Taste like chicken eggs only bigger. Yeah, I’d buy 'em if I saw 'em, I buy quail eggs a few times a year too.
They’re a little richer than chicken eggs due to the higher yolk:white ratio and they taste eggier. When I see them around, I like to make a duck egg carbonara with them to really show off the eggy quality. But if you have a steady supply of them, you can basically use them in lieu of chicken with the adjustment of 1 duck egg for every 1.5 chicken eggs in a recipe.
I’ve had them a few times. I like them fine, but I didn’t taste much difference between duck and chicken eggs.
In my experience, an average farmed duck egg is “eggier” than the average farmed chicken egg. So they are about the same level of “egginess” as the eggs from a proper free range hen that lives outside and eats bugs.
Quail eggs are great, proper little bite size tastiness.
I love duck eggs, and buy them whenever I’m given the opportunity over chicken eggs.
Yeah my chicks and ducks free range for their food, much cheaper than feeding them 
I’ve never had them but seeing this thread makes me want to try them. And also to try cooking and baking with them as well, to make a comparison.
I know a woman who is an artist, an expert at decorating Easter eggs in the Russian/Ukrainian style. She has also decorated duck eggs, which gives even more surface for elaborate designs. But I don’t know where she gets the shells. She was considering buying an ostrich egg, the shells of which can be purchased through specialty suppliers.
If you like rich runny yolks, you’ll love duck eggs. I prefer them to chicken eggs.
Then you’d love goose eggs. Every so often I’ll make sunny side up goose eggs, cooking covered over gentle heat and basting with broth. Great photo-op as well.
I’ve had goose and duck eggs. Both are quite good. Very rich. They taste high in calories and cholesterol, if you can taste for that kind of thing.
Still, good.
