Where are you located and what kind of goose is it?

South Alabama and they are chinese geese.

Well, I believe those can lay up to 110 eggs per year. Usually around 50-60. They do start laying in the winter mostly.
It does sound like a bit much for 50+ in a matter of 3 months. Unless this is one of their two clutches for the year. So perhaps you will not be getting anymore eggs until September-ish. I mean, they let an egg once every 2 or 3 days…
But 50+ already….wow, what are you feeding them…steroid enhanced food? lol

This is the food and this is what's left in the nest from throwing atleast 25 out since November because of them rottening. She has since layer 2 more since the photo 2 days ago now she has 26 in the nest.

I don’t know. Hopefully someone else chimes in.

Ummm, are you just letting them sit in the nest? Hatching? Eating? What are you going to do?

She lays on the nest a few hours a day, We are new to having geese. We thought she would hatch some but guess no luck. This is also her very first time laying. I have never ate goose eggs before not sure how they are.
