Nice pipe.
How do duck eggs taste compared to chicken eggs?
Delicious
The ratio of yolk to white is reversed.
Chicken eggs are about 2 to 1 white to yolk.
Duck eggs are about 2 to 1 yolk to white.
So bakers and cooks love them. Especially bakers. Makes their products taste richer. Also have chefs that use them in pasta. If you're a toast dipper you're in heaven.
I also have a large Asian market for them.
They're tough as nails and rarely break. In fact opening one takes effort and I've dropped then on the ground without breaking.
They sound fantastic. I need to find some to try.Delicious

Duck eggs size and taste are comparable to turkey eggs. I find opening the shells easiest using quick blows with a sharp knife to cut the harder shell and tougher inner membrane. Both have more flavor than chicken eggs and more satisfying due to their larger size.

We've gone a few years without ducks and finally started a new flock in late summer. In the past I've had Welsh Harlequins and Pekin. This time we're going dual purpose with Silver Appleyards. I also have a mini flock of Midget White turkeys. Come spring we'll have chicken, duck and turkey eggs to choose from!
I like duck eggs too, I find they have more flavor and a bit gamey. I like gamey, its a good thing I reckon.

Like @MLBbreton said, duck eggs are the perfect ratio for fresh pasta.
Around this time of year, I make ravioli with my in-laws from scratch and I wish we had duck eggs this year!

Love me some duck and their eggs, even have a special duck egg opener, a serated circle, for easily getting at the contents.
Where did you find that?
Those eggs are tough. I have one of those for chicken eggs. Would bounce off of a duck egg.
It's a metal version of this, oddly I can't see mine anywhere.
