I need to move 3 geese and a nest from one safe fenced area to another. My son had the brilliant idea to pick up the nest and the geese would follow the nest.

I laughed so hard that tears ran from my eyes, picturing him carrying a nest of goose eggs, trying not to jostle them, with 3 furious over-protective geese after him.

I nixed that idea. We will catch the geese and carry them. The nest is inside a dog crate, so once the geese are captured, we will very carefully carry the nest and hope the goose goes back to it.

My 2 rather polite ganders are ready to go to war with anyone who gets close to that nest. I can only imagine what they would do if anyone actually picked that nest up.

That would be the ideal method of punishment if need be!
 
I lined up 2 goslings and 2 ducklings and moved them to a bigger pen by just marching them out there in a line. Worked very well until I stepped on a snake

and ran. Poor things ran right over it too and ran with me! It's a wonder one of us didn't get bitten. I have no idea how I would move a nest without an angry goose on my heels!
