my goose honk has laid eggs in thepast but this the end of june she laid about 5 eggs. she has been sitting on them since that time. she moves all the eggs into different corners of her coop everyday. is this normal can geese breed any time if year? what are the chances that they are fertile?is june to late for her to mate? she is a dewlap mixed toulouse. please let me know this is the first time i had one out of 12 geese sit on their eggs.
 
We haven't had eggs since May. The end of the season eggs were hit and miss on being fertile. Geese are seasonal breeders typically. I would remove the eggs, candle to see if they are growing (it's been long enough since your first post about them) if you don't see veins, pitch them. Brooding in the heat of the summer would be very hard on a goose, which is probably why they breed/lay in the spring.
