Do Geese

[luvchicks8]

Sing an egg song like chickens? I picked up a white embden and she has not layed an egg yet she is over a year old and was laying at least every other day and it has been 3 days now. I am new to geese with her I have 2 Tulouse males.

Not that I know of, she's probably done laying for the year. It's kind of late for geese

When does the season end normally? This is my first goose.

It depends on the breed, but usually they are done by early summer.

No they don't. They don't want anyone to know about the egg, and will bury it so you can't find it

They DO talk to their babies when they are pipping though

She'll probably start laying in March through May or so, depending on your climate. I'm pretty sure Emdens lay quite a few eggs, maybe 30 or 40 or so (???) in a season, and may lay more if you keep stealing them. They go broody in April or May and will sit on what they have left.

Thanks for the info I am quikly falling in love with them and finding them quite smart i call them and and tell them time to get in now and they go. I wish they would train the chickens to do that.

As well as the season being late, If you just movered her that will disrupt a laying cycle , I'll bet she is done for this year. they usually lay every other day.
