Eggs

[Jerry]

This definitely isn't kilt related, but I wanted to show some eggs I collected from our flock yesterday.



This first photo shows the two big ones with regular chicken eggs and one bantum egg.





These last two are with a tape measure to show size. They may be goose eggs, as we have Geese, ducks, regular white leghorns. and Bantums. Even if they are goose eggs, they are big for our geese.

Looks like those 2 will give you a 4 egg omlette

I'm amazed you weren't awakened by the screaming from the hen house

If your geese are just maturing they might be tending to lay larger eggs, particularly this early in the year when they will be 'hoping' for the chance to hatch them.

I keep a few quails these days but in the past have had chickens, Rhode Island Red and Leghorn, black and white bantams, and geese way back when we had a large orchard.

The quail eggs have a really large yolk for their size - the only trouble with boiling them is getting the shells off. Six or eight of them make a really strange looking fried egg.

We have pilgrim geese. The first two you have pictured are consistent in size with what I see during the spring and early summer.

I think your going to need a bigger sporran. Now your eggs are formum related.

Those big ones look like the ones I used to get from our African goose. She was taken from us, either by a large dog or a cougar. Right now the young female African I have has not yet started to lay. When she does we are going to let her hatch at least three or four.

I'm surprised no egg yolks have been posted...

We lost some of our geese to a dog also. We had Two Africans and Three Toulouse. We lost one African and One Toulouse. He (maybe it was more than one dog) also got one duck, as well as a light Brahama hen. I like dogs, but I believe I would have shot the ones that did that. Once it warms up here, We will probably let the goose hatch a few goslings too.
