Old geese versus young geese in breeding and reliability
Samuel Cushman of Rhode Island, a trusted authority on aquatic fowls, asserts that old geese lay more eggs and prove more reliable than young geese. He notes buying young geese can save time when securing any number of birds. Young gunders breed better than young geese, yet young geese yield fewer fertile eggs and goslings in the first breeding season than in the second. Movement between places can disrupt breeding, with geese adapting best by the third season in a locality.
