duck eggs

Waterfowl reproductive products

Duck eggs are eggs laid by ducks, larger and richer than chicken eggs, with a stronger flavor prized in baking and Asian cuisines.

In British slang, a duck egg is a score of zero—from the egg's resemblance to the numeral—giving rise to expressions like out for a duck in cricket.
