Is 8 goose eggs in one day normal?

[FastTurtle]

Hi all.

I've always read that I can expect my pair of Ebden geese to lay one egg every 1 to 3 days. However, after my female laid her vey first egg on Friday, I was dumbfounded to see that over a period of only about 1 hour on the Saturday, she proceeded to lay no fewer than 8 more eggs (I know this time frame was accurate as she was locked out of our courtyard for most of the day where she had her nest). She then laid a further egg on the Sunday, making 10 eggs in just 3 days !

Is this normal ????

Not only is it not normal, it is an impossibility. Any possibility the other eggs were hidden in the bedding?

Hello and welcome to BYC

My guess is she was hiding the eggs and storing them up.
