Hi Macca, Welcome to WAP...I keep Pilgrim Geese. Assuming that mine are anything to go on, they should start to lay anytime from now. Mine have laid 2 eggs this week although last year the didn't start laying till May/June. Last year was their 1st season so perhaps the lateness was due to their imaturity. You will need to keep some bedding straw in the house/pen as they will dig a little hollow in the ground then pack some straw in the bottom then they will lay into that. Then they cover the whole lot with more straw. You probably wont even know you have eggs till you start feeling around in the straw. I hope that helps as when I first got mine I had no idea. Oh and also they need water to mate in so make sure that you have something suitable on hand
