I tried DUCK eggs, and THIS happened

[scottranda]

Actually, not much. It cooked and tasted like chicken eggs.

Next up… QUAIL eggs (I see it sold in my local grocery store). WHO’S WITH ME!?!?

Have you ever tried eggs before that is NOT from a chicken??

I have a niece who eats duck eggs. She has a terrible reaction chicken eggs, but no problem with duck eggs.

[scottranda]

Yeah, I heard if you’re allergic to one, you’re not allergic to the other.

I’ve had quail eggs. They’re pretty good. I think the taste is somewhat more concentrated.

[scottranda]

I’ll quack one open and try soon!

Thanks , I have thought about buying duck eggs to see if any different than chicken, now I don’t need to ! Cross that one off the list 😃

[scottranda]

You’re welcome.

I use to raise quail as a hobby. Still had to have all the permits and records as if I had a large quail farm. Multiple any eggs needed in a recipe by 8 if using quail eggs. They are quite good.

[scottranda]

Now THAT is some inside baseball right there!! (8:1 ratio)

[Mosca]

Yeah, quail eggs are about the size of those foil wrapped chocolate Easter eggs.

[fracmeister]

Not all they are quacked up to be.

My neighbor offered up an emu egg, however I didn’t get it from him. The offer got lost in text messages and I forgot to ask about it.

I've had turtle eggs, but it was a looong time ago.

Pickled quail eggs. Herbert's from Gueydan, La. The lady also did embroidery work on tarps you put on rice trucks.

My dad caught snapping turtles and collected them until they had enough to cook a supper. A guy that helped my dad out, if there were any eggs, he took them home and ate them, we never did

I will be adding quail to my flock in the next couple of months. Building the cages now and will be ordering the hatching eggs soon. Quail egg's (and meat) are fantastic.

[hoovarmin]

Wow David, that's really cool!

This is also a good read. https://www.motherearthnews.com/real...eggs-zbcz1705/

More importantly. How are you handling the removal and spacing?

[bbqLuv]

The taste can be altered by the food they eat. I am of the belief if you feed ducks chicken feed their eggs will taste like chicken.

A neighbor raises ducks, sometimes 150 or so at a time. Steady supply of duck eggs. They are harder to crack, and the membrane is tougher, but well worth the effort. They are great in baking, but you might have to adjust the recipe a bit due to the size of the eggs.

A guy near where I used to live raised ducks and sold the eggs. I tried them a few times. They were good. They had a stronger taste than grocery store chicken eggs, but that's not surprising since the ducks were free range. It's been a while, so I can't really recall the flavor well enough to characterize it.
