Duck Eggs

Characteristics: Duck eggs are about the size of a jumbo chicken egg with a smooth, beige-gray shell. The shell is thicker than that of a chicken egg and a very large. Duck eggs also have a proportionally larger yolk than a chicken egg.  This larger yolk gives duck eggs a higher fat content and a creamier texture than chicken eggs.

Quail Eggs

Characteristics: At only 9 grams each, quail eggs are significantly smaller than the average chicken egg (a large chicken egg weighs approximately 50 grams). As long as you make adjustments for size, quail eggs can be used interchangeably with chicken eggs.
