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

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.

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,...
