I thought the conservation Dept used to drill holes in the eggs, or something like that to keep them from hatching. Might keep the geese around, and the GBH away.
So far, I haven't had any geese on my pond. I've got about 2,000 flying over every day, but they must not like my pond. The trees come right up to the edge though, maybe they don't like that. Ducks seem to like the pond, but maybe the geese need a longer runway, so to speak.
9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.

Keith, the Bad Brian wanted them so I'm taking the eggs to PB member Sid's place to hatch them. He raises Japanese Quail, so he has all the equipment and facilities needed.
All I know is that the eggs can't stay here. These 2 particular geese really made me believe that the newly hatched geese would just keep coming back year after year. That would be a bad thing for sure.

No geese on the pond this morning, nor a nest to be found. But I'm also guessing with the amount of critters I have around here I would guess there's little chance of them hatching/surviving. But since I was out there, and feeding, I decided to cast a line and caught 2 LMB, one at 3lb, one just under, and a HSB at 18", 3lb with a 1 3/4" mouth gape  . Always a great way to start the work day  Keith PS - I did get a pic of the HSB, just not enough time to upload it

My 2yo granddaughter was all giggles today! Giggling casting for her first times, and giggling after being shocked she actually caught a fish on her first cast today...she wound up catching several BG and GSF and should be hooked for life! Man, this is what it's all about!

The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!

scrambled goose eggs with cheese grits .... Collect your goose eggs within a day or two of being laid, or you'll have scrambled goose eggs with gritty cheese!

Rex, momma waits until they all are laid before incubating them, so they all hatch at the same time, even though she lays one per day.
You can wait a few days without any worries.
