i am setting up a duck farm and i am wondering if duck eggs taste good

[Anonymous No.15587689]

They are an upgrade from chicken eggs. They will make your baked goods much better. Some people don't like eating them alone as much as chicken eggs but I do because of the bigger yolk. Also you should make salted duck eggs because they're delicious, just takes a few weeks

[Anonymous No.15587692]

Yeah, though they've got a strange richness to them that you don't get from chicken eggs. You don't really notice it when you use them for baking and stuff, but if you're frying them up or boiling them, you really get it.

There's some ducks that congregate around my local wendys and pester strangers for fries. I'm almost positive I could lure one into my car. Anyone have any tips for butchering/cooking duck?

You're not wrong, but you'd need a license depending on where you live.

Wow, you have absolutely zero knowledge of the subject, but you decided to "set up a duck farm".
This is sure to go well, you are a brilliant man indeed. Do you need some capitol investment? Because your plans seem solid as fuck. Keep wondering what tastes good, my friend.

I'm not a lawyer, but these birds are here year round so I'm sure they don't migrate.

We kept ducks for a long time.
The eggs are noticeably different, somewhat fishy- not bad but unfamiliar.
First time duck egg eaters will think "this chicken egg tastes wrong", that's the main reason for objection.
For this reason I tend to use them in Asian dishes like tea eggs, Myanmar egg soup or egg drop soup- nobody find them strange if the dish is also unfamiliar.

They perform a bit strangely in baked goods as well, not so much in flavor but in texture.
This was far more pronounced in our eggs because our ducks lived on forage because we herded them about the wetlands.

Our ducks growing up were just fed what the chickens ate which was seeds and corn, they never had weird tasting eggs. It must be the diet

I really want to try an ostrich egg someday. But one egg is = to 2 dozen chicken eggs or something. Itd be cool

[Anonymous No.15588178]

>>15588019
Oh you can taste the difference in any case.
It's only weird if you're used to chicken eggs and then just get a cooked duck egg- if you are used to duck eggs it's not an issue.
It's that old thing about expectation and disgust, people are often disgusted by the unexpected.

But our ducks ate mostly bugs, so their eggs were much 'duckier'.
We also saved the shells, powdered them and mixed them back into the duck feed
You could break a dozen supermarket eggs with one of our duck eggs.

[Anonymous No.15589133]

I think they taste weird, but you should fertilize them to eat balut. I would eat balut over any other egg dish any day.

What does the taste of duck eggs have to do with raising, caring for, and breeding ducks?

Yes they are fucking delicious. Get yourself some good quality rice wine vinegar and learn when to wait to steam them.

I've never had ostrich egg but I've eaten emu egg a few times which is basically the same thing. Don't get too hyped for it, it's a blander tasting yolk and the whites have a slightly different texture, altogether not very pleasant

They loved the snow for a while. They are in a coop with deep bedding, it seems to keep them warm. I also give them warm water 3 times a day and plenty of food.

Ducks can be outside without any shelter in temps as low as 20 degrees american. They aren't thrilled with the -10 degree days we've been getting but they still go out and swim.

[Anonymous No.15596019]

>>15596009
correct, ducks aren't migratory, if it bothered them they'd be geese or terns or something.

[Anonymous No.15596021]

>>15587673
They taste almost the same. At least with chickens getting similar feed. The yokes are harder to separate from the whites and they seem a bit richer. They also lay wherever the urge comes over them in the middle of the night so you have to look around for them.

Thats a moscuvy duck or however you spell it. A domestic bird not related to most other breeds of domestic ducks. It makes mules when you breed them with a a pekin.
