I have chickens, ducks and geese...and dogs but they do not lay eggs. 24 chickens producing on average 20 eggs each day. 24 ducks (only 3 mature females) who produce 3 eggs daily with a day off each week. And 3 geese (one male two females). The geese are still young and will have their first breeding season this year. It is my hope they will sit their nest and produce goslings for me to enjoy. Of course we enjoy our chicken eggs each day and have plenty left to sell. What are left each week, usually 9-10 dozen, get donated to Loaves and Fishes, a CFM food pantry in the little town near us. The duck eggs we sell to a lady that does wedding cakes, keep a few for ourselves and usually have a dozen or so to donate as well. We enjoy the duck eggs scrambled with tomatoes, hot peppers and onions or with chorizo and hot peppers. I have never had a goose egg so I can't judge them though it seems like it would be an awfully lot of egg to eat.

Yeah, I haven't caught any of my dogs laying any eggs either.
How old do geese have to be to start laying eggs?
My DIL knows someone who bakes wedding cakes, I will have to see if she is interested.
I will have to try the duck eggs that way and see if we like them. Thanks.
