Are Duck Eggs Good Eating?

Long story short, have some friends that live near a Jeff Parish canal and some of the Muscovy ducks have decided to make their nest in their garden and have laid a bunch of eggs.
Question is are those eggs good to eat? If they are good to eat, are they good eating?

Let them hatch!

I intermittently buy them off the Book of Faces. Obviously bigger than hens’ eggs, and richer. I usually just scramble, but it makes a one egg meal when you fry them up in bacon grease and drop on a piece of sourdough toast.

Excellent, but I'd want to know I was eating fresh ones, laid in the last couple of days.

I don't think I would be able to eat them. Every time I would go to take a bite I would think about that ugly arse duck.

I raise Rouen ducks (for eating). I collect their eggs daily, and they're very good eating. GREAT for baking with, as well. But mine are fed Purina meat bird food and are kept in a fence around a pond. Not sure what a "wild" muscovy's eggs will taste like.

The ones around my house probably taste like a sewer ditch. Those are some nasty critters.

Very good. Richer than hens eggs...yolks are orange to red almost. Very good

I have Muscovy, khaki Campbell’s and Rouens at the house. If I catch an egg I’m sure is fresh from any of them I’m gonna eat it over my chickens eggs.

Very liitle difference!

We used to thrown them at each other as kids when we lived on the lake.

How do you define fresh? That day, couple days old, week old? Pardon my ignorance

Had my first duck eggs a few days ago. Egg was noticeably harder to Crack but made a great omlet. Dang good.

Crack directly into a bowl of piping hot ramen, garnish with green onion.

A quick google search shows a duck egg incubation time of 28 days. Ducks are only laying one egg a day and I'm not sure if they will lay every single day, as in they may miss a day. So if you are talking about 4-6 eggs in a nest then you could have eggs that were laid 7-10 days ago even if they are "fresh".
I'd have no problems eating 1-2 day old eggs, but a week or more and you are starting to talk about significant growth IMO. That's purely a guess I'm sure someone else can chime in?

GREAT for baking with

Yet you can eat a chicken egg and not look at those nasty arse chickens
