Using duck eggs

My husband was gifted 2 dozen duck eggs. Is there anything that just tastes better with duck eggs over chicken eggs? We’ve already enjoyed some french toast and that turned out so great I thought I didn’t want to waste the rest.

Duck eggs are very good in any kind of baked goods and, as you’ve found out, just about any recipe that calls for chicken eggs. What a nice gift! — Jackie

Beaver prediction

In one of your recent articles you said that by the beavers the summer is going to be dry. How did you tell that? I would really like to know.

The beavers in our pond are building their dam higher and building a new lodge with a lower entrance. This tells me that they want to trap as much water as they can early in the year (hence the higher dam) and expect the pond level to be lower later on (hence the new lodge with lower entrance). We’ll see. Right now we’re getting damp weather, but really not much total rainfall and we had a very open winter with little snow melt to soak into our already low waterways. — Jackie
