You will find doing some research that they were developed for this reason. They are a Heritage breed.<br />They Khaki Campbell duck egg is the size of a jumbo chicken egg and the taste is most like a chicken egg compared to other duck eggs. I have had many people try the campbell duck egg that did not like the taste of duck eggs and they loved them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
