Not OP, but I'd absolutely love to, but I don't want to be the only one caring for them. I can have up to 6 according to city ordinances, which is plenty to keep us fed with as many eggs as we care to eat. However, they do require a non-trivial amount of work and they're a little stinky, so I'm hesitant to do it, especially since I have three young children and a long-ish commute. But my kids probably old enough to help out (they help w/ our cats), so we'll see.

I bought some eggs from some neighbors and they were absolutely delicious. I also miss duck eggs, and looking up caring for them, it honestly doesn't seem worth the hassle. But if someone offered, I'd totally buy a bunch of duck eggs and eat them all the time.
