Egg safety

Are duck eggs like chicken eggs in that they are ok to be stored unwashed, inside. And they start to expire after washing and placing in the fridge? What about turkey eggs?

Eggs start to age the moment they're laid, washing just speeds up the process.
You can keep eggs unwashed and out of the fridge if your kitchen isn't warm for a week or two but any longer they should go in the fridge.

Im not sure about ducks but my turkey eggs are treated same as chicken eggs. Washing them removes the protective bloom alowing possible bacteria to enter the egg through its shell. 2-3 weeks is a good rule. So yes it's a lot like chicken eggs.
