I too use duck eggs just as hen's and they are great, very tasty.

However, a general warning: the shells are more porous than hen's eggs, and slightly more likely to let an infection through. If you gather your own, and know they are very fresh it doesn't apply. But I don't give 'soft' or raw duck eggs to anyone vulnerable (very young, very old, frail or otherwise ill in some way).

Duck eggs make very nice custard.

My country aunt used to win the sponge cake section at the local WI - her secret was that she used duck eggs!

I used to have to hunt for them, now a stallholder in the local market has them regularly - I use them in a lot of things, or sometimes just boiled!
