Reference Question of the Day

The question arose as Retiring Guy biked the Military Ridge State Trail between Madison and Verona earlier this afternoon.

Look at all those fuzzy little poop factories.

Uh....yeah.....the question.  On average, how many eggs does a Canada goose lay?

Answer: The number of eggs laid by one goose in a nest can range from 1 to 10, but the average for giant Canada geese is between 5 and 6.

Confirmation answer:  Each egg is laid approximately every 1.5 days and only incubated by the female. The eggs are creamy white in color and are approximately 3 times larger than a chicken egg. Clutch size varies from 1 to 10 eggs but generally consists of 4-6 eggs.

From 1 to 10, huh?  Hmm.
