Geese as predator protection?

[CanadianCrower]

We have a problem with our kittens disappearing lately and are wondering if it's coyotes. My father-in-law says to get a goose and it will keep the coyotes away.THis seems a bit hard to believe to me and I was wondering if anyone else has ever heard of this?

I tried geese in my pen. I don't know if they kept predators away but they nearly tore one of my baby goats in half.

I don't have geese anymore.

Geese are great watchdogs, but they will not scare away a coyote or a fox.

I have had two eaten this year by a mid size fox. I found that one will seem to scarifice itself for the rest of the flock, which in turn just brings the fox back another night until you shoot it or it eats all your animals!

The geese will alert you to the fox, they make loads of racket, so I was able to get outside with the gun.

I have Embden Geese, I have heard that Chinese Geese are more aggressive? What does everyone else think?
