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 sell both. Yes, they are different from each other, so l am gonna break it down quick:
🦆Duck eggs are GREAT for baking.
🐓Chicken eggs have thinner shells.
🦆Duck eggs are larger and richer than chicken eggs.
🐓Chickens are prolific layers year-round 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 than
chicken eggs, so if allergic to chicken eggs, most can eat duck eggs and vice 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 solid for 4-5 years before they slow down.
Chicken eggs come in a lot more colors.
So there ya have it! If you’ve never tried duck eggs, you should.
