I have a pair of gorgeous Embden geese, Elmer & Gertrude, each almost 1 year old. Yesterday we found 2 goose eggs in a corner by a shed, the first ones of Gertie's that we've seen! They're so impressively large, now I know why geese waddle the way they do! So now I want to know:
How often do these geese usually lay? Is it seasonal or year 'round?
Will she continue to use the same nest or should we search the yard each day?
Is she likely to go broody after laying a certain number? Should I leave them in her nest spot? Or collect them to return to her once she begins to brood?
How does the taste of goose eggs compare with chicken & duck eggs?
I appreciate your imput, and any other info I should know about goose eggs. Thank you!
