Do duck eggs taste like chicken eggs?

[2manyhats]

I recently got Indian Runner ducklings and mixed ducklings. When researching duck breeds, I came across the fact that Runner ducks can outproduce a chicken in eggs. I figure one egg probably tastes about the same as another. Am I right? Is there a notable difference in taste or use besides the size?

Great question. I was wondering the same thing. Anyone out there know ?

I like them better than chicken eggs for baking, cooking and over medium with sourdough toast.

I find duck eggs taste a bit stronger then chicken eggs and their texture is over all richer.

I think they taste the same. I like duck better because their bigger. Great for baking, but whatever you do DO NOT HARD BOIL THEM! We tried it 1 year for easter because they were the only white eggs we had. They come out rubbery and have 4 layers. an outer white, 2 inner whites, and the yolk. blek!

I think they DO have just a bit stronger taste, but not bad.

We have both runner ducks and various breed of chickens. The duck eggs seem to have a larger yolk in comparison to the white, but other than that, we've found very little difference. When we have guests, I usually try a taste test with them and most can't tell the difference when they taste them. We use them the same as chicken's eggs. They are good.

We had to get used to the BIG YOLKS and they are a little bit gooier (SP?), but now all are family and friends love them! My neighbors are addicted!

They are a bit different, but not so much you would hate them if you love chicken eggs.

When scrambling, yes they are a little bit gooier.
