Some of my older hens are showing off. They are consistently laying eggs of 2.5+ ounces. Most are brown, but there are some blues and pinks as well. They are NOT double yolkers -- just bigger than the average egg.

Curious about duck eggs, but not willing to invest in a full dozen? How about a "try it" size? If you don't like them on their own, you can hide the remaining ones in a cake, and no one will be the wiser. Come on. . . just give them a try.

DOZEN jumbo size (3.0oz plus by weight) duck eggs. The ducks are Peking, Rouen and Khaki Campbell. In Spain, during my military service, I learned that Europeans use duck eggs in their baking, and it does make a difference. Because the whites of duck eggs have more protein than those of chicken eggs, they will whip up higher when beaten and create more loft (a better crumb) in cakes . This means lighter, higher cakes. Since the yolks are so rich, your cakes may also be richer with duck eggs. Solution: leave out the yolks if you don't need the extra fat (generally you use twice the egg white if not cooking with yolks). When adjusting for duck eggs: a large chicken egg is 2oz with shell & 1.75oz without shell [see Nutritional Info for adjustments]. My duck eggs will have a clear albumin and bright yellow yolk that stands up above the egg white. I only sell cleanly laid eggs (in a straw nest versus on the open ground or mud nest) to my customers. These ducks are my pets, so be assured that they are well cared for. I PACK THE EGGS AS A COMBO OF SIZES FROM 2.50 oz to 3.25 oz. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS. I do supplement their green diet with a prepared feed that does NOT have any medications or additives. CAUTION: The risk of getting a foodborne illness from eggs is very low. However, the nutrients that make eggs a high-quality food for humans are also a good growth medium for bacteria. In addition to food, bacteria also need moisture, a favorable temperature and time in order to multiply and increase the risk of illness. In the rare event that an egg contains bacteria, you can reduce the risk by proper chilling and eliminate it by proper cooking. When you handle eggs with care, they pose no greater food-safety risk than any other perishable food.

DOZEN LARGE EGGS - all BLUE. OK, there's nothing fancy about these hens. I raised them by hand, I make sure they are nutritionally sound and they lay some GREAT tasting 2+ ounce eggs. I can't tell you anything about Non-this or Non-that because that doesn't enter into my farm. They get plenty of greens from the garden - both "weeds" and extra plantings. They are happy, safe and well cared for; thus, their eggs are delicious, and that is enough for me.
