The only mammals that produce eggs are duck-billed platypus and Echidnas and they appear to produce 2 each year.
This varies from one breed to another and duck to duck, for example a White Pekin can lay between 100 to 180 eggs per year. Next example, a Khaki Campbell lays 200 to 300 eggs per year!( "A Guide to Better Hatching",Janet Stromberg author)

In Singapore, you can find chicken eggs in a market. Another type of egg that can be found there are processed duck eggs. The cost of duck eggs is high there, so many people would rather buy chicken eggs.
Duck embryos are a delicacy in the Philippines. Duck embryo eggs for eating are called 'balut' and are widely available in the Philippines. Many 'balut' farmers make a large amount of money with these fertilised duck eggs. Superstition has it that they are an aphrodisiac.
Females only produce one or two eggs, males produce many sperm.
No. That's not possible because chicken and duck are two different races (biological meaning). This is the same thing for a human and a monkey ! There are many reports of these crossing but most are not recent. They come from the late 1800's and early 1900's. Many times these birds will be friends and appear to mate but there has been no DNA work to prove it one way or the other.
Most bird eggs are edible. Chicken eggs of course but many people eat duck eggs. Quail eggs are a delicacy. Turkey eggs are very strong flavored but are enjoyed by some. Sea bird eggs are eaten by many Native American tribes living along the coast.
