Our goose lays a lot of eggs but does not sit on them. I took 6 eggs and put them under a brooding chicken hen. They all hatched.Yea. Should I remove the babies or leave them with the hen. Could I put the babies back with the original geese pair.

Welcome to BYC!

Definitely shouldn't put them back with the geese. Geese, like most birds, will sometimes attack and kill youngsters they don't see as theirs. Your hen can raise them just fine.
