What do you do with your duck eggs??

[Settler'sDreamFarm]

I am getting day old ducklings in the spring and I was just wondering what all of you do with your duck eggs?? Do yuo put them in chicken egg cartons or do they make egg cartons for duck eggs??

Depending on the egg size they should fit in the large or jumbo boxes. Duck eggs are great for baking

Mine fit in my regular chicken cartons but honestly I keep mine out in baskets in my kitchen. I only package them when I sell them.
I hard boiled one dozen duck eggs last night and they are GONE already. Between hubby and three egg loving kids. I had one. I love my duck eggs hard boiled, the yolk is smoother than a chicken yolk I'm finding, and isn't dry at all. It's really nice.

Hmm, I'll have to try that when I get some eggs again. I usually don't like the yolk in a hard boiled egg.

The yoke is the best part of the egg!!!! Even though so far all I have had is chicken eggs..

You guys got it all wrong. Duck eggs are for cooking overeasy and letting the yolk drip on the toast. I may have to try the hard boiled.

I freeze some for those dreary winter days when the pullets haven't started to lay yet and the old girls are still on molt break. I find that the duck eggs are smoother after thawing, so I try to mix some in with the frozen chicken eggs also.

I love my duck eggs any way you fix 'em. They have spoiled me. The chicken eggs just seem so, well, little and thin now. Those big full yolks of a duck egg are just so yummy.

Ours just end up in an incubator, ours or someone elses! They're too valuable to eat!

Otherwise, ours are banties so the eggs fit great in a regular egg carton as they end up being the same size as standard chicken eggs.
