I'll give it a go Amanda........xx

Yes you do have to boil them for longer........it's a bit hit and miss trying to get the perfect dippy egg but worth the effort if you can get it right .

I bet they make a lovely omelette as well .

I'm not sure Amanda.......I only go to the market generally when it's warm so that could well be the case lol.

Yeah I will have a try of them.......I've got one chicken who has gone broody AGAIN so if it's a nice day on Sunday I'll go and get some...seeing as I'm going to be low on *home made* eggs this week lol

Do you have to cook them for longer or anything? xx

Are duck eggs only layed in the Spring time ? I'm sure I don't see them about on the market all year round .
Treat your self Muffy..........they really are yummy : )

I thought I saw one Helen..........but I wasn't 100% sure as my chickens lay eggs with really orangey yolks.......maybe it doesn't stand out so much? lol.

They sound lovely Amanda......I may treat myself to half a dozen when the chickens go broody next and stop laying.......try them for myself xx

It's been ok for me Jean.....hectic but ok.......not so good for my OH ......but that's another story lol.

Awwww sorry about the wait to see the luscious Italian......but glad you don't NEED to see him for now.......

xx

Oh Muffy ,it was me that told you about the blood spot.have you still not seen one.My sister will pick it out with tweezers if she sees one,before she cooks the egg lol

The yolks are a deep yellow Muffy and the " white " is really clear, can't say i'de noticed the blood spot thing in one .

Sounds like you had an alright day Muffy :)

Saw my beautiful Italian today *sighs*. Got to wait another four months before I see him again... which is good from a health point of view but sooooooooo bad for my emotional wellbeing lol.

Jean x.

What colour are the yolks amanda?

And do they have a bigger blood spot yukky thingys I've heard about but barely ever seen? lol xx

Awwwwwwww Dawnie..........yellow yolks then I'm guessing from your reply? lol. My chickens lay eggs with orange yolks.......finding it odd now to see a yellow yolk. xx

duck eggs and goose eggs are good in cakes used to work with someoe who used to have ducks and geese and used to give some to hubby so I could make nice yellow sponges

Duck eggs are wonderful........I've only had them a couple of times but they where the eggiest eggs I'd ever tasted..........lol

Amanda

pmsl Kitty...........I have loads like that but usually because I'm in the process of dropping the camera !!! lol.

EAT THE EGGS JESSIE..........a twix won't stop the craving for long enough lol xx

Just about to attempt a sit down Maria.........not sure how successful I'll be........nursing a man with a pain lolololol.

I've never tried duck eggs........let me know what they're like........they sell them at the market and goose eggs.......bleedy huge they are !!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Mr Broggyxx

Speaking of photos........

I was looking through some today and found one Mum took when they went to Canada once.

It is the sky and you can just see the ground far below with just the tip of a plane wing...............I can still hear Mum saying very seriously

"We took that from inside the aeroplane"

Bless her:))) lol

If I eat the lot I may just throw up all over some threads and that would not be a pretty sight lol

Just rammed a twix into my mouth to try and stop the egg craving !!!

Hiya Mufffy
