Getting egg cited for the new season

Ducks usually come into lay earlier than pure chicken breeds so be ready

- 

Duck eggs are delicious and are usually rather larger than a hen's egg - depending on the breed of duck. As with any egg they are very nutritious and now that experts believe that they are no longer associated with causing cholesterol, you can enjoy them even more. They are about 100 calories again depending on size and are mainly water with about 10-15 % percent protein and fat - all dependent on size and breed. Duck eggs are richer than hens' eggs which makes them really good for baking cakes. They can be eaten in the same way as hen's eggs, but it is advised to thoroughly cook them to be completely food safe especially for pregnant women, older people and vulnerable groups.

They have a creamy texture and one duck's egg is usually enough for breakfast because of their larger size.
