Jumbo Pekin Ducks

Duck Eggs start @ $10 a dozen, let us know if you want them for incubating

← Here are the Ducks on their first day at the farm in March 09.  I just know they were plotting something against me!
Duck Egg

Check out how much bigger the Pekin Duck Egg is compared to our Chicken Eggs!  You only need 1 Duck Egg to 1 1/2 Chicken Eggs in a recipe. Our duck eggs average over 85 grams, while our chicken eggs average 55 grams.

Here they are on the right only 2 months later.  It is amazing how big they got in such a short time.
Originating in China in ancient times, White Pekin Ducks were brought to the Western World in the middle 1800’s. Their fine meat quality and egg laying ability quickly made them the first choice of American duck growers. Both the male and female are creamy white in color, yellow skinned, and very large breasted. The males carry a fall weight of 10 to 11 pounds and the females weigh 8 to 9 pounds.

You can freely substitute duck eggs for chicken eggs in cakes, pies, cookies, custards, etc. Because the whites of duck eggs have more protein than those of chicken eggs, they will whip up higher when beaten and create more loft in cakes. This means lighter, higher cakes. But since the yolks are so rich, your cakes may also be richer with duck eggs.

HEALTH BENEFITS: Besides being great to bake with, duck eggs are sought by cancer patients. Apparently, duck eggs are alkaline (basic), chicken eggs are acidic. Cancer cells don’t thrive in a basic environment, so some cancer patients adjust their body’s environment by eating alkaline foods like duck eggs
