6 year old geese still laying

[laturcotte1]

When do geese stop laying eggs? I have two Roman Tufted females. For two months now they have layed approxly 26 eggs. Whether I let them lay on them or take them immediately they keep coming. I've taken the hay out of their coop and they lay them in my DH bushes or leave them in their yard. I know when they stop I'll wish I had goose eggs but just wondering.

I posted this once but it disappeared.

This year, my goose has laid 44 eggs from January 3rd to May 30th. I think she's done for now, although last year she started laying again in October and November.

I recently met a guy whose goose died shortly before her 40th birthday. He said she stopped laying around her 25th year. So I'm guessing you'll have a lot more goose eggs to come!

I read about a 86 year old Dewlap Toulouse that was sitting on a nest of six eggs when she died after being kicked by a horse. I think the record for this breed is over 100 yrs. Sounds like a family heirloom to me.
