I'm so sorry to hear you lost all those precious goslings flockman. how awful.I did not have an issue with fertility this year. I had a goose hatch 8 out of 8 eggs. None of the 20+ eggs I put in the incubator hatched. THat I believe was handler error. The other goose had 8 fertile eggs until raccoons destroyed the nest. I lost all of my goslings this year. 2 goslings came up missing one day. 3 days later 4 more were gone. I started to lock geese in "Fort Knox" at night. One night we stayed at a friends house till about sunset and came home to a destroyed nest and the final 2 goslings gone.We have been ridding our place of all kinds of vermin this year! This is not unlike the great chicken Massacre 2 years ago. I forgot to shut in chickens one night and lost 16 3 month old chickens. I really hate raccoons!
Next year I will not loose a gosling or any other animal to a raccoon!![]()
