what are the six geese laying?

[–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Aren't they laying five gold rings? I'm not sure if that is each or a combined total each day. Presumably they are a breed related to that of the goose that lays the golden egg.

There are six of them but just five golden rings? One of them must be shirking.

[–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

I don't know about geese, but it is definitely normally the way with chickens. They lay their eggs progressively later during the day until they skip a day, then start again in the morning. So five rings from six geese sounds about right.

was hoping to hire them as after eight bricklayers

Well if they don't eat enough fibre they could lay bricks.
