when I was a kid we raised domestic white ducks, their eggs has double yolks and were huge compared to chicken eggs! The taste was much richer than chicken eggs, the taste difference is like ‘skim-milk’ compared to whole milk. The ducks laid so many eggs we had to feed them a shell supplement made from ground-up eggs shells.
