how are duck eggs better for baking, do they taste better in sweet foods than chicken eggs? ive never had them before

OH man okay, so, duck eggs are very fun! They're bigger, they have thicker shells and membranes, and the egg itself is Eggier. It just tastes more like Egg. Egg Times Two. They're also a just structurally different- they have more fat and more protein, and the whites of the egg are a lot thicker. Chicken eggs, in comparison to duck eggs, are more... watery???? And the yolks are way smaller than duck yolks. So when we had ducks, I'd normally use duck eggs if I was gonna bake something, bc the lower water content and higher fat/protein content in them just seemed to really help things turn out better. More flavor and more structure.

#since they Are bigger I could also use them for unusual recipe conversions if I wanted #like a REALLY big duck egg #could be helpful if I want to 1 1/2 a recipe #where the recipe calls for 1 egg so time-and-a-half-ing it would mean I need an egg and a half #but a really big duck egg can work for that really well #but yeah. and people say they're healthier / more nutrient dense which like yeah I can see that #just bc like. that raised protein and bigger yolk has GOT to translate to different nutritional value #sergle answers
