our largest egg, EVER...

our largest egg, EVER...
have you ever seen a duck egg this big?  thank you girls it was delicious!


here are some duck egg facts for you to ponder...
  • duck eggs' body and structure retain moisture better then chicken eggs- making them ideal for baking
  • duck eggs can last up to 6 weeks in the refrigeraror, but if you have any doubts place egg in a glass of water.  if it floats- then it is bad.  if it sinks it is good.
  • most people with allergies to chicken eggs CAN eat duck eggs
  • the harder shell gives duck eggs a longer shelf life than chicken eggs
  • anything you use a chicken eggs for- you can use a duck egg instead
