Would you eat duck eggs from your pet duck?

It is really funny or maybe awkward to see couple fighting over whether to eat or not to eat eggs of their pet ducks. But honestly, I should say I would side with the husband. There is nothing wrong with eating the eggs for they are meant to be eaten anyway. It is just like eating chicken eggs anyway. Now if the wife's reason is because she wants those eggs to be hatched and so the ducks will multiply then I think that is reasonable and he could always talk over that matter to her husband without disputing at all. They can always have amicable settlement on this issue. Ducks do lay plenty of eggs actually and it is advisable to eat some of them because surely some of them will just get spoiled and beyond hatching because the mother hen could not afford to hatch so many eggs. So it this case I don't see any reason why the husband can't enjoy the eggs. The wife is actually the one who is very wrong with her belief that eating ducks egg is wrong because the ducks are their pet. If we could eat eggs of our pet chicken then why not our ducks' eggs? Anyway they are both clean and edible. Ducks eggs are bigger than the chicken's eggs. They are also not white but beige and the shell of the eggs are thicker. The duck's egg has some stench though. So I don't enjoy fried ducks egg but I love it when processed as salted red egg or the native balut. I also love using duck eggs in leche flan. By using lemon choice, the stench taste is totally eradicated.

Hi, Tallygirl09. I don't think that I will eat our duck's eggs. Maybe chicken eggs.. But they have to be store bought eggs. I don't think that I would want to eat a pet that I take care of, eggs. I would feel very guilty and greedy.

I used to have a pet duck (a male, so no eggs) but I personally wouldn't eat eggs from a pet duck if they laid them. BUT I think it is okay that the husband ate them because both ducks were females, so the eggs weren't fertilized...no baby ducks were being killed. If their was a male duck and the eggs were fertilized, I would totally be against eating the eggs. If/when I have chickens I'm not sure I would eat eggs from them, especially if there was a rooster around! I would be so paranoid that I would get some eggs that have actual baby chicks in them.

I dont have a chicken or a duck for a pet but if even i have one won't hesitate to eat the eggs. If i won't eat the eggs it would be better to give them to the neighbors than throw it away.

Haha, this is a very funny issue. For me it is ok to eat the eggs of your pet duck as long as you don't eat your pet duck because it is a pet, right? Duck's egg is slight bigger than chicken's and is white in color. The taste is more or less the same as chicken's egg. In China, they have these call salted egg which is made from a duck's egg. They cover the duck's egg with salt plus mud and left it for certain period and you will get a salted egg. It taste is salty but is very nice to eat. If you have change to go to China, give it a try. You will like it.
