  • About
Because geese are not reared intensively they follow the natural breeding cycle, laying eggs from spring onwards. The eggs are available from late March and are very popular with those who like to blow and color eggs for the Easter table as they are about twice the size of hens’ eggs. Geese are farmyard animals and likely to lay their eggs in all kinds of places without any regard for hygiene. The eggs should therefore be thoroughly cooked and are particularly good in baking.
