Our Laying Ducks Info

We love our silly ducks! We make sure they have the freedom to engage in all the natural behaviors that make them happy. They have a large yard to play in & their own pools to swim around in. From early morning until after dark, they get to swim, root around in the mud puddles, graze on grass & weeds, and chase after various insects! Then they're herded into a safe and cozy coop for the night.

Duck eggs have a larger yolk-to-white ratio that makes them ideal for baked goods. Golden in color and rich in flavor, baked goods made with duck eggs tend to be moist and fluffy, rise better, and hold their shape well. I LOVE baking with our duck eggs! They are very creamy & have a rich flavor. Their dark yellow yolk indicates that they hold more antioxidants, more omega-3 fatty acids, and 50% more vitamin A than chicken eggs & have more protein.

Duck eggs contain some awesome minerals... zinc, magnesium, and selenium. They are an excellent source of selenium, providing almost half of the daily value in one egg. These eggs also provide vitamin D, the “sunshine vitamin.”

There are eight B vitamins, each with their own unique benefit & duck eggs contain them all! They contain all vitamins except for vitamin C. They also contain all essential trace elements, including iron, copper, and manganese.

Duck eggs are safe for people who are allergic to chicken eggs. If you have not tried duck eggs you should!

Duck Eggs Pricing, Care & Handling

We currently offer 1 dozen/12 large duck eggs that are $10.00 a dozen. We also offer 1/2 dozen/6 large duck eggs for $7.00 for 1/2 dozen. Your eggs will be unwashed unless you specify that you would like washed eggs. Washed eggs do cost extra. We do NOT use bleach to wash our eggs, we use a cleaner called Thieves Fruit & Veggie soak that works beautifully to clean our food. This product is completely plant based and natural, it safely washes away dirt, bacteria, pesticides, and other contaminants from our eggs, so you can enjoy them as nature intended.

UNWASHED EGGS INFO: Fresh farm eggs have what is called a bloom or cuticle. It is an invisible protective membrane over the shell. It seals the egg from oxygen and bacteria. For longest lasting eggs do not wash them until you are ready to eat them. To wash, rinse them carefully in room temperature water without soap. All eggs will be refrigerated. Please keep them refrigerated to stay fresh. Farm eggs can last up to 3 months in the refrigerator. If you decide to wash your eggs please be sure to completely dry them before putting them back into their carton.

WASHED EGGS INFO: When you order eggs from us they will be unwashed unless you request them to be washed. Washed eggs can last up to 2 months in the refrigerator. Be sure to stick them in the refrigerator as soon as you can.

Pro-tip: If you are making hard boiled eggs, the oldest eggs will be the easiest to peel. I use my pressure cooker… place the rack inside, pour 1/2 cup water in, place 4-5 duck eggs on the rack, cook on high pressure for 15 minutes, place directly in cold water, peel & enjoy!
