The Duck Egg is the regular product of the Duck, the bird that moves in once the Coop becomes a Big Coop. A duck lays only every second day, but each egg is worth as much as a chicken's Large Egg. Run through a Mayonnaise Machine, it becomes Duck Mayonnaise, which sells for roughly four times the raw egg. The Duck Egg also fills a slot in the Animal Bundle and hatches into ducklings in the Incubator. In the kitchen it can replace a chicken egg in every recipe.
Production
Once grown, a duck with a full bench gives something every other day. Most of the time that is a Duck Egg, left on the Coop floor in the morning. On some days, the duck drops a Duck Feather in its place instead. The feather needs high friendship, a good mood and a lucky day, so a duck with a weak bond lays an egg almost every time.
Better friendship and mood also raise the star quality of the egg. Daily petting, a full feeding bench and time outside on fresh grass all help. The Coopmaster profession speeds up friendship with ducks and improves the quality of everything they produce.
The Traveling Cart sometimes stocks a Duck Egg as well, at a steep mark-up over its sale value.
Putting a Duck Egg into the Incubator of a Big Coop or Deluxe Coop hatches a duckling. Coopmaster farmers wait only half as long. Hatching eggs grows a flock of ducks far more cheaply than buying birds from Marnie.
Prices
A normal Duck Egg fetches the same price as a normal Large Egg, and an iridium one doubles that. Rancher adds a fifth to what a raw Duck Egg fetches.
Duck Mayonnaise is where the egg earns its keep. The Mayonnaise Machine finishes a jar in three hours, and the jar is worth about four times a normal Duck Egg. Duck Mayonnaise always comes out at normal quality, whatever stars the egg had. Even so, an iridium Duck Egg sells for only half the jar, so processing wins at every quality. Artisan lifts each jar's price by two fifths. A single Duck Mayonnaise is also worth noticeably more than the gold-quality jar a Large Egg makes.
Uses
The Animal Bundle in the Pantry lists a Duck Egg among its six options. Five of the six are needed, and the reward is a Cheese Press.
When cooking, a Duck Egg can take the place of any chicken egg. It works for a Fried Egg, an Omelet, Pancakes, Cookies, Crab Cakes and the cakes and tarts that call for an egg. When Gus asks for eggs through "Gus' Famous Omelet", Duck Eggs fill the order too.
The Sewing Machine turns a Duck Egg into a Green Jacket Shirt.
Duck Mayonnaise hides a small secret of its own. The back room of the Stardrop Saloon holds a half-hidden box behind the casks. Placing a Duck Mayonnaise in that box gives a strange statue called ??Pinky Lemon??.

Gifts
Harvey likes a Duck Egg, which sets it apart from the chicken's egg. The other villagers who enjoy one are Alex, Demetrius, Jodi, Kent, Leah, Linus, Marnie, Pierre, Sam and Shane. Abigail, Haley, Jas, Pam, Vincent, the Wizard and the Dwarf would rather not have one. Sebastian hates it.
Notes
Over two days, a chicken lays twice while a duck lays once, so their raw egg income ends up close. After processing they stay level too, because one Duck Mayonnaise sells for about the same as two jars of plain Mayonnaise. The duck pulls ahead through the Duck Feather it drops on its best days. It also needs only half as many machine runs for the same money.
