We will have Duck eggs, today at the Sudbury Market
We're reposting this here as we have an abundance of both kinds of eggs here at the farm. Please contact us if you're interested.
If you love eggs, you will really appreciate this post!
Duck Eggs vs Chicken Eggs 🍳
Duck eggs are larger in size than chicken eggs. The whites in chicken eggs have a higher water content (more runny) than the whites in duck eggs. Duck eggs have larger yolks and a higher yolk-to-white-ratio than chicken eggs.
We have both. Yes, they are different from eachother so I am gunna break it down quick:
🦆 Duck eggs are GREAT for baking
🐓 Chicken eggs have thinner shells
🦆 Duck eggs are larger and richer than 🐓 eggs
🐓 Chickens are prolific layers year around if taken care of correctly but 🦆 ducks are as well with much less light necessity
🦆 Duck eggs stay fresh longer because of their insanely thick shell
🦆 Duck eggs contain 30% more protein, and a different type of protein that 🐓 chicken eggs so if allergic to chicken eggs, most can eat duck and visa versa.
Ounce for ounce, 🦆 duck eggs contain more Omega-3, Vitamins A and D, fatty acids, choline, folate, and iron than 🐓 chicken eggs.
🐓 Chickens lay well for about 1-2 years then dramatically start slowing down production while 🦆 ducks lay a solid 4-5 years before they slow down
🐓 Chicken eggs come in a lot more colors
So there ya have it!
