I have two female African Geese and one male African goose that I got when they were only a few days old on May 3, 2014. I also have one male Pekin Duck and one female Pekin Duck that are about 4 weeks older than the geese. About a month ago we noticed the ducks mating (if that is the proper word). Then a week or so ago I saw the male duck mating with one of the female geese. I didnt think anything of it because I thought A) they were both to young and B) they wont cross breed. Well my female duck has layed one egg a day for the last two days. My one female goose just laid an egg yesterday. The geese are about 16 weeks old. I had read over and over that geese with not start laying eggs until the spring and not until they are around 9 months old. So how is it that the one goose is laying eggs? I know it is a goose egg and not a duck egg because of the size difference. Just tonight I noticed that the same goose looks like she has another egg bulging from her belly area. It actually looks like an egg poking out like a baby's foot does in a human. So I am super confused and not sure what to do or think. Can someone explain to me how this is happening and if it is normal? Do ducks and geese cross breed?
