Debbie Meier Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I'm looking for ways to use up our duck eggs, I'm not one to bake so cakes and stuff are out. We use them for breakfast, sometimes mixing them with our chicken eggs sometimes not, flavor seems to be the same just less egg white and a little more dense when cooked. The girls started laying a fews weeks ago and are giving me a pretty steady half dozen a day, not a huge number but more then 2 people need, especially when I am only making breakfast for myself during the week. I anticipate production to go up, we have about 15 total that are getting to the age to start laying. I hate to just feed them out to the dogs, though the dogs would love. My old dog Amber already looks like a whale, before we confined the ducks she was finding the eggs before I was. Our ducks are Kahki Campbells, Indian Runners and a couple of Blue Swedish.

juliepoudrier Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 How about selling them to neighbors or at the local farmer's market? Or donating them sometimes to the local food bank? Truthfully two people can eat just so many eggs, so if you can't also use them to supplement your dogs' diets, I think I'd be selling them. J.

KrisK Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 You can also cook them to feed back to the ducks...mine loved it when I had more than needed. On the other hand, I loved baking muffins with them...and muffins are REALLY easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenajo Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 You need more dogs When we kept ducks I would boil (that was pre-raw feeding LOL) 30 or so at a time and the dogs would get a couple each with their meals. We have chickens now and a few times a week I put a half dozen eggs in the blender, shells and all, to mix with the veggies. Local health food store might sell them for you...

mbc1963 Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I know one year I wanted to paint decorative eggs for Easter - blow the insides out, then paint the outside. Had a very hard time finding larger-than-chicken eggs. Maybe some local craftspeople? Like, the ones who do this craft, which I find beautiful: http://www.creatingpysanky.com/Peacock.jpg Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mona Howard Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I take my extra duck eggs to work and let the co-workers fight over them. Everyone wants them for baking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
