Eating Goose Eggs.

[bravevline]

What do you think of the idea of using geese for eating egg production?

Hi Bravevline,

There is a market for goose eggs. Some people purchase them as fertile eggs only and other people purchase them as non fertile eggs only. I believe that people use them for eating eggs and baking eggs. They can bring a dollar or more per egg. Goose eggs have a stronger flavor than chicken eggs which then becomes an acquired taste. Many people love to use goose eggs for baking, some for cooking, some for hatching (fertile eggs, that is) and some eat them raw. Some don't eat them at all but use empty blown out egg shells in arts and crafts. You could feel out the market in your area by placing a few adds to see what responses come your way.

I hope that helps. Take care.

Breeding season for geese is over so that means egg laying is over with also. I doubt that you will be able to find eggs, other than blown out eggs for crafts. When they are available they are yummy and make the best baked goods. One scrambled is equal to 3 chicken eggs scrambled.

They make awesome omelets.

They are seasonal layers, so you won't get egg production all year. I will say however, I am a distance runner, and a scrambled goose egg with a little dill is my perfect pre-run breakfast! 1 egg is the perfect size and absolutely delicious!

not really. It depends a lot on their diet. If the geese are fed a diet similar to what the chickens are eating then the eggs taste the same. there is a slight difference in texture. But not in taste.

If the geese are supplementing their diet out of a "dirty" pond then yes, that can affect the flavor.

for year long production we use a lot of duck eggs since certain breeds have a much longer (some even year round) laying season. We've even had a few ducks which outlayed the chickens!
