I once tried duck eggs after I'd read an article in Gourmet (or some
other similar such magazine) about them. I didn't care much for them.
A whole different texture when fried, or so it seems I remember. But, I
still want to try some fresh chicken eggs just to see the difference
from those purchased at the grocery store.

Recently, I was at a shoppe that offered farm fresh chicken eggs (brown
& white) but there was a notice that stated something to the tune of,
"these eggs have not been washed, candled, or ....." etc. Is that a
common warning for fresh eggs? The other problem was only a whole flat
of eggs could be purchased - that's more than 30 eggs! The eggs would
go bad before Spouse and I could consume all of them - oh well. Perhaps
the farmers' market has a 1/2-dozen I could buy? I'll have to check
tomorrow
