Goose
Anser anser domesticus
About
Domesticated from the greylag goose, these large waterfowl produce enormous, richly flavored eggs. Geese are seasonal layers — most production happens in spring, making goose eggs a genuine seasonal delicacy.
Their Eggs
Very large eggs (about 3x the size of a chicken egg) with a thick, white shell and an intensely rich, creamy yolk.
Egg Size Comparison
Fun Fact
Goose eggs have such thick shells that they require a sharp knife to crack rather than the edge-of-the-bowl technique that works for chicken eggs.
