We are now selling our duck eggs under a new brand, Olinday Farms. These are the same great duck eggs you are used to eating but with a new name. We feel it is important to keep our Metzer Farms' brand focused on day-old ducklings while developing a stand-alone brand for fresh duck eggs. Olin Metzer bought the first flock of ducks in our family over 60 years ago and we wanted to celebrate him and the "all day egg" with Olinday Farms duck eggs.
One of the unique features of duck eggs is their beautiful shell colors. The color of duck eggs can range from white to various shades of blue and green. This natural variation adds a delightful touch of color to your kitchen and makes them a visually appealing choice for any dish.
We have been selling fresh duck eggs for years as many people feel our duck eggs are unbeatable for baking and pastries. Our duck eggs have a rich, creamy texture that enhances your favorite recipes, from breakfast omelets to decadent desserts. Whether you're a home cook or a professional chef, our duck eggs are sure to elevate your culinary creations.
In addition, many of those allergic to chicken eggs can often use duck eggs instead. We would consider it prudent to consult with your physician, however, before using duck eggs if you have a severe egg allergy. Our breeder ducks eat base ingredients of soybean and corn in their feed so if this is a concern with your allergies, please take note.
The only disadvantage of duck eggs is the whites do not beat up as easily as chicken eggs, but there are ways around this - see below. Jumbo chicken eggs average 2.5 ounces per egg; you can see that almost all of our duck eggs are larger than chicken eggs.
The eggs we ship are less than 30 hours old. We have a specially designed foam packaging for each bundle of 20 eggs which protects and insulates the eggs. Once you receive them, they can either be stored in the refrigerator or freezer. Under refrigeration (34 to 40 degrees F.), eggs can be kept safely for up to six weeks. By sealing freshly laid eggs in plastic bags, their refrigeration life can be lengthened to two months, as the bags help prevent moisture loss from the egg. Duck eggs have a longer shelf life than chicken eggs.
Freezing is an excellent way to save eggs. By following strict sanitation precautions in preparing waterfowl eggs for the freezer, we have been able to keep them for over twelve months successfully. However, because frozen eggs of any type can harbor bacteria that may cause acute intestinal infections, it is safest to store them no more than six months and restrict their use to baked or long-cooked foods.
Wash the eggs with warm water and soap, and then break into a boiled 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 either one-teaspoon of salt or one tablespoon of honey to each pint of eggs. The last step is to pour the batter into thoroughly clean ice cube trays or freezer containers, leaving 1/2 inch headroom 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 immediately in the freezer. Once frozen eggs are thawed, they should be used within twenty-four hours. Do not refreeze thawed eggs.

Also Please Note: Egg yolk color is strictly dependent on a duck's diet. Yolks can be pale yellow in color or rich orange in color depending on what they eat. More information can be found here: How To Make Duck Egg Yolks More Orange.
AVAILABILITY: We are currently sold out on Fresh Eggs. We anticipate availability will open up again in early summer, after our busy season at the hatchery. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Kevin T. | Best duck eggs you can buy
These are the best duck eggs you can buy! Delivered fresh and delicious to your door. I won't order or purchase any others. Try them you won't be disappointed.
Mary F. | A literal life-saver
I developed an allergy to chicken egg whites in my mid-fifties. Shocking and scary times! However, I was informed that sometimes people with an allergy to chicken eggs do NOT have an allergy to duck or quail eggs. Metzer Farms was the first place I found. The eggs are carefully packed, I've only ever had a couple of them break in transit. Fast shipping, great service - I'm a fan for life.
Brandi S. | Absolute Lifesaver
Thank you guys for offering bulk buying I have a chicken egg allergy where I for the longest time didn't think I could eat anything with eggs. ever but once I discovered that I could eat duck eggs like normal. I found that getting them in bulk allowed me to get a month's worth of eggs during unnormal times of the year. You guys are amazing and I hope you continue to serve in bulk as I continue to seek you guys out first.

I'm so happy I am able to still get my duck eggs in the off season when the ducks are not laying in the area I live in. Received my duck eggs quickly, and one time they came in broken customer service was fabulous and sent replacement ASAP!!!
Scott W. | Best eggs
These were the best duck eggs I ever had. I have tried many different places for ducks eggs this place beats them all
Meredith S. | Wonderful eggs and customer service
I have an allergy to chicken eggs, and I was so happy to have found Metzer /Olinday Farms! I placed an order for 40 eggs, and wondered how the shipping would go, since I live a few hundred miles away. I can't say enough good things about my first experience with them! The eggs were delivered in a timely manner, and the way they packed the eggs was just perfect! Not one egg was broken or damaged, and they're fresh and very delicious. I'm now able to enjoy fried and scrambled eggs for the first time since I was a child. It sounds like a such a simple thing, but it's the little things that bring us joy. After I finish this review, I'm off to place my second order. Thank you, Metzer Farms for making this chicken egg allergic woman very happy! :)
starla J. | Awesome Eggs, Customer Service and Shipping Time
Soooo Happy to find Metzer Farms, as I have an allergy to chicken eggs. The Duck eggs shipped quickly and not one egg was broken, as the packaging material is perfect and no sawdust or Styrofoam. The eggs were delicious, so thank You Metzer Farms for offering this service to those who have allergies who would not otherwise be able to enjoy eggs!!
Anita W. | Thank you
I can't even begin to say how thankful I am that I found Metzer Farms. I am someone else who is allergic to chicken eggs. About twelve years ago I found I could eat duck eggs. I started ordering from Metzer Farms about ten years ago. Duck eggs are very seasonal where I live. The quality is always great and I have had very few issues over the years. When there is a problem it is addressed promptly. I will be a life long customer!
Laura W. | So Happy to find Duck Eggs!
I'm so happy to find that I can order duck eggs. Sometime in my 40's I all of a sudden out of the blue developed and allergy to chicken eggs. For so many years I had to go without eggs until I heard many with Chicken allergies can still eat duck eggs, I was so happy to hear this, but finding someone in my area that sold duck eggs was a futile task. Nobody had them even those places like Fresh Market etc that said they carried them never had them!! I've purchased eggs from here twice now and the services is exceptional, they arrived so quickly and packaged wonderfully! These eggs traveled across the country from CA. to FL. and not one broken egg! Also the eggs are delicious! Thanks Metzer Farms!!
Chris G. | Lifesaver!
I am a repeat customer and I love the value from this farm. Thank you for top notch quality and fast shipping!
Terra B. | Fantastic for Allergies
I was diagnosed with a complicated allergy disorder a few years ago and chicken eggs made me sick. I took a chance on duck eggs and we've been in baking heaven ever since! They taste great, stay fresh for a long time and I've never had any crack in transport. My local grocer will have duck eggs only during spring and summer, so I most often purchase from Olinday/Metzer Farms during the fall and winter. It's also reassuring that if you buy too many eggs, there is a simply way to freeze them to longer storage. I absolutely recommend these duck eggs! Theresa
Amelia H. | Wonderful
Tasty! Everything was wonderful. All eggs were delivered in a timely manner without any damage to them. The packaging made it easy to transport and store. I purchased, I believe, 125 eggs, and haven't had a problem with a single one. Great substitute if you have a chicken egg allergy. Very happy this worked out as well as it did.
Janice C. | Great eggs
I want more. The eggs were fresh and in perfect condition when they arrived.
Terry G. | Beautiful duck eggs for eating
Today will be my fifth order. These duck eggs for eating are wonderful. And they arrive so carefully packed. I will continue to be a regular customer.
