If you love eggs, you will really appreciate this post!
Duck Eggs vs. Chicken Eggs π³
Duck eggs are larger in size than chicken eggs. The whites in chicken eggs have a higher water content (more runny) than the whites in duck eggs. Duck eggs have larger yolks and a higher yolk-to-white ratio than chicken eggs.
We have both. Yes, they are different from each other, so I am gonna break it down quick:
π¦ Duck eggs are GREAT for baking.
π Chicken eggs have thinner shells.
π¦ Duck eggs are larger and richer than π chicken eggs.
π Chickens are prolific layers year-round if taken care of correctly, but π¦ ducks are as well with much less light necessity.
π¦ Duck eggs stay fresh longer because of their insanely thick shell.
π¦ Duck eggs contain 30% more protein and a different type of protein than π chicken eggs, so if allergic to chicken eggs, most can eat duck eggs and vice versa.
Ounce for ounce, π¦ duck eggs contain more Omega-3, Vitamins A and D, fatty acids, choline, folate, and iron than π chicken eggs.
π Chickens lay well for about 1-2 years, then dramatically start slowing down production, while π¦ ducks lay solid for 4-5 years before they slow down.
π Chicken eggs come in a lot more colors.
So there ya have it!
