Only if you live in a universe where Lysenkoism works.

They are friendly enough eight months of the year. Minimal hissing and no attempts to eat your legs the moment you turn around.

But for four months out of the year they are aggressive dinos that you can't turn your back on. If they aren't on the nest they aren't too bad. If they are on the nest you will need to carefully pick them up without getting bit or beaten with their wings. And relocate them before you try to get the eggs.

We found a second nest today with five eggs in it. The goose was on it but wasn't ready to fight me so she got up and wandered away on her own.

Most of the year it takes about four minutes to put away all the ducks, chickens and geese at night. But for the next few months it will take somewhere between four minutes and 20. Because now there may be one or more geese hiding on a nest somewhere on the property and we have to go find them because they can't stay out all night due to predators. Which is another reason to find the eggs. If a raccoon or possum finds an egg before we do they will start coming back and that's a danger to everyone.

They won't start developing until the goose goes broody and sits on them. You want to find the best before that. If they go broody they stop laying so no more new eggs for a while. But more importantly you want to get the eggs before they go broody because trying to remove a goose from a nest is a lesson in asymmetrical warfare. You want to be gentle with them. They want to murder you.

Goose eggs kept at room temperature and unwashed are good for about four weeks. But the longer you wait the more thin the whites become making them harder to manage if you want a giant fried egg. But they are still fine for other applications.

Chicken, duck and geese eggs. All taste pretty much the same except for the larger yolk. Makes them richer.

I have considered making deviled eggs many a time, but at the same time a triple-sized deviled egg seems a little daunting. It's one thing to eat. Half a dozen deviled eggs. It's another thing to eat One that is larger than your mouth.. and because of the extra yolk I'm thinking it's going to require some flavorful acid too. Counterbalance all that richness..

We can only support so many geese on our acre. Domesticated geese are no risk of going extinct. If anything there's too many of them. Just like cats and dogs. But you can't fix a goose.

Fix yo damn pets
