2 geese a-laying


The geese  have really taken to the small pond ( filled with some extensive water engineering, as reported earlier). The have foresaken their  goose house, especially purchased for them,  and taken up residence at the pond.



We spotted the nest building a bit earlier,
 and they have both taken up residence  on the nest and around and in the pond, when they are not terrorising the bantams for coming too close , or  grazing on the grass ( and hopefully preventing the need  to cut the grass in the more awkward bits of the garden)


And we are assuming they are happy , because they have started to lay eggs.

So here the eggs , and for comparison , the eggs compared to a (large) hen egg and  to see how they don't fit into the egg-box , designed for chicken eggs.




How many goose eggs do you put into a cake, or omlette. or how long to do boil it for to have a soft-boiled egg ?
