I just paid $5 for a half-dozen duck eggs.
These better be the best fucking eggs I've had in my life.

>> No.17834982

they're disgusting unless used for baking
hide their disgusting duckness in the flour and the sugar and duck milk

Damn if you bought them directly from my property I'd charge you 6 for a dozen. And my birds are raised on pasture too.

>>17834987
If I ever go to a farmers market in the suburbs I'd charge 12 dollars per dozen, if not more.

You'd think that rape eggs would taste good.

I bought them from the local yuppie co-op. I'll come to you next time, anon.

They're best as baked goods.
They make extremely good custards, ice cream, etc. I think they have fattier yolks. Nothing special when it comes to cooked in a pan or scrambled

The fuck are you talking about? I pay $7 for a full dozen and it's only because I buy the "certified cruelty-free" stuff for professional-class white people. Full dozen otherwise is like $3.

I wonder if they're fertilized like the quail eggs

My first thought was $5 for half a dozen eggs is insane...

But now I'm wondering why are eggs so cheap? I can get a dozen eggs for $1.10 in my state. That's less than 10 cents per egg. Why am I not eating eggs for every meal?

>But now I'm wondering why are eggs so cheap?
The cheap eggs are made by trademarked breeds genetically designed to produce so many eggs they literally prolapse themselves to death before getting ground up into feed for the other layers.

I wouldn't eat gulag eggs unless the other option was starving. Might as well season your vegetables with roundup too.

I mean, I'd be willing to pay twice that amount for a dozen eggs if it means less chicken torture. Any egg brands I should get or do I basically have to socially interact with local farmers to get them?

Pastured eggs are usually the highest quality and least cruel. If you don't live inside a city you might be surprised how many people have backyard chickens and sell their eggs for like $2/dozen though.

duck eggs that I get up here are huge, comparable to an XXL on the chicken egg scale. The whites have more firmness than chicken eggs.

pigeons do, for example.
I want to get into raising pigeons just for the milk

I just scrambled one and fried another. Scrambled was fucking gross but fried was good.
