Both types of poultry bird eggs taste basically the same, but duck eggs are known to have a creamy texture and a more rich flavor. Both the yolks and the eggs themselves are larger when laid by a duck hen - even a banty duck breed. Bakers tend to love duck eggs, both amateur and high end professional ones, because of the way yolks from duck eggs “stand up” to produce “loft” and the way the creamy texture makes dishes far more moist. Duck eggs are most often used in custards, cakes, cookies, and pies.
