That's a nice size goose egg. They make real tasty omelets

Congrads! most of us weigh our goose eggs in grams. Easier to notice changes.

X2! And best of luck with getting through laying season without too much drama. It can be a pretty wild ride for some...............

 

[tillyita]

It's already proving to be a noisy ride!!!

At least I now know:-
The breeding sounds....
the fighting sounds....
"there's a predator" sound....
the "Oh my god, where did you go?" sound....
....

Oh yes, they get very noisy during breeding season! My dewlaps live in yards that flank my front driveway/walkway. No one came to my house without the whole neighborhood knowing about it.

Thank you 8geesealaying. On the bag it says it suitable for geese as well however thank you for your advise. I have now switched to a water fowl feed. I bound the wing for just one day. As I didn't want to have it to tight I think I ended up putting it on to loose (an old flexi horse banage) so it fell off. However just the one day seems to have done the trick. It's no longer sticking out. Thank you again for your help and advise. Viccy

My goodness another one that didn't read the memo that geese don't lay and sit this time of year.

Congrats!
