Lesley Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Can you test duck eggs for freshness in the same way as hens eggs? By putting them in a bowl of water and making sure they don't float? Carl found three more duck eggs buried in the straw this morning and we need to check that they are recent and not from before the duck started sitting on eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 I'm not an expert Lesley, but it's to do with the air in the egg so I suppose it would work for all kinds of eggs. The older the egg the bigger the air sac. C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted July 29, 2006 Author Share Posted July 29, 2006 - I'll stick with the duck eggs then! I'll crack them one at a time - outside - just to be sure, then I'll make a cake with them - the only way I eat duck eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
