Duck Egg

Don't ask me why, but the duck has decided to lay eggs. Isn't this the wrong time of year? At first I thought it was some sort of fluke that I found an egg three days ago. But yesterday morning there was another. And yet again today, a third. Looks like a trend to me! So now I'm getting two eggs a day -- one chicken and one duck. 

Duck eggs.....and this is from a Muscovy..... are bigger than chicken eggs. They have bigger yolks as compared to chicken eggs. I find that they are superior for making eggy sauces and egg noodles. I recall that my grandmother preferred duck eggs for baking. 

Currently I only have one duck. So I'm not drowning in duck eggs. But having a few to use in the kitchen is just about right.
