Our ducks are not given any antibiotics or hormones. They are also not given any chemicals to enhance productivity. The eggs are laid naturally. Our breeders are fed a waterfowl breeder feed, which consists of corn, soy beans, wheat, and ground beans.

Question: Can duck eggs can be broken and frozen successfully?

Many farmers freeze surplus eggs for seasons when production slacks off. Some farmers report that by following strict sanitation, they have been able to keep them for up to 12 months. However, because frozen eggs of any type can harbor bacteria that can cause acute intestinal infections, it is safest to store them no more than six months and restrict their use for baked or long cooked foods.

Freeze them while they are fresh and select the cleanest eggs. Make sure that there are no signs of cracked shells. Wash them with warm water and then break them into a boiled (sterilized) mixing bowl. Blend the whites and yolks with a fork being careful not to beat in air bubbles. To prevent the yolks from becoming excessively thick during storage, add a good shake of salt and a pinch of cornstarch for each egg that you are freezing. This will help to keep the eggs' consistency more or less unaffected by freezing. Some people say that a teaspoon of honey for each pint of eggs being frozen accomplishes the same result.

The last step is to pour the batter into thoroughly clean ice cube trays or freezer containers, leaving 1/2 inch at the tops to allow for expansion. If ice trays are used, remove the egg cubes soon after they are frozen solid, seal them in a clean container and place them immediately in the freezer.

Once frozen eggs are thawed, they should be used within twenty-four hours. Do not re-freeze thawed eggs.
