I like duck eggs.  Seems that most don't share that opinion.  They don't seem to mix/scramble as easily as a chicken egg

I cant l say that I eat eggs to "eat eggs", we do the majority of our cooking from scratch, and use them as the backbone for pasta, breads, batters... they are definitely thicker, and more dense, but overall, a superior choice over chickens

The are awsome and work really well when using them for baking. I still prefer a fresh chicken egg over duck eggs for a plain old fried egg.

I'm absolutely sold on them for baked goods and breads, and they make a good breakfast too.  The best waffles we've ever made were with duck. 
I have chickens in my backyard and I mostly stick to my own eggs, but when making something special (e.g. christmas cookies) I buy duck eggs.  I've heard that turkey eggs are quite good too.

Love our duck eggs. Have 5 runners and 4 call ducks. Too many eggs to eat. Have no problems preparing them for breakfast a variety of ways. Don't bake much but heard they are good for that

Great for making a frittata on sun to eat for breakfast during the week

I've got 7 hens laying now, and have been freezing breakfast sandwiches on the weekends, freezing some for cooking, making hardboiled eggs, giving some away,...

 :yeah:  They make especially great omelets. I think duck eggs are superior to chicken,but then again their diet is everything.

I think they taste better because of all the slugs they eat. 2c
