Another great thing about spring is eggs. Duck eggs to be exact. For almost a year we've been raising a flock of ducks and now it's finally paid off. Good thing since eggs are now $1.99 a dozen. Duck eggs are delicious. I have them many ways: fried up with crispy edges and soft golden middles, scrambled in fritattas with roasted red peppers, or baked up in a cake. I have them many ways.

Our local market has them and I wondered about the difference from chicken aside from the obvious where they came from. So you use them the same?
you mentioned that you raised a flock of ducks. Do you also hatch them? I have a question. I found two duck eggs (long story but they were abandoned and not left alone for more than 24 hours) that I am trying to care for and hopefully hatch. I did some research online and I am taking care for them as best as I can without an incubator. At first both eggs seemed to be doing well. Yesterday was the 5th day that they have been in my care and 1 of the eggs started to become gradually stained. When I candle the egg it almost seems as though the fetus has detached from the shell. The egg is now about 90% stained and when I turn the egg the mass inside pretty much swishes around. Is it dead? The other is doing well (i think) but is not stained at all. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
