“We raise Pekin ducks on our farm here in Virginia, right alongside our chickens.
We have four ducks, Penelope, Sasha, Sonia and Brigid and one drake, Gregory, and collect between 3 and 4 eggs every day, right through the winter. In fact, the ducks out laid our chickens this past winter!
The ducks are a lot of fun to raise, but what we love best about them is their eggs.
I had never eaten a duck egg before our ducks started laying them for us, so I didn’t know what to expect.
Turns out, they are pretty similar to chicken eggs. Of course the duck eggs are larger – about 30% larger to be precise. Our duck eggs usually weigh in right around 3 ounces, which is considerably heavier than even jumbo chicken eggs…”
