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.

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.

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