This is what you need to do.If you remove eggs, they will keep laying. The best way to get your goose to lay the least amount of eggs is to leave eggs and allow goose to go broody, then take eggs partway through incubation.

Sell her clutch on eBay or Craigslist fertilized eggs are good up to 10 days at room temp. I’d just give a super discount since it’s her first year and could have lower fertility. What you don’t want could still benefit someone else, and your pocket while you’re at it. Considering a day old Sebastopol gosling female is 100-250$ if just one of the eggs hatches someone would get their moneys worth.We have two Sebastopol geese, not a year old yet. They hatched in the springtime. I don't know if this time of year is typically mating season, but they have decided it is at any rate lol.
We have a male and a female and the female laid her first egg 10 days ago. She laid it in the middle of their fencing, and left it there. We took the egg inside. However, this morning the gander was very protective over their pool, and he has been protective around their enclosure with my husband. The goose was inside the enclosure and looked like she was making a little nest this morning, so I looked and found two more eggs (there may be more, it's hard to access that part of their enclosure).
We do not want goslings right now, so I removed the two eggs that I found. Will she stop laying soon if they keep getting removed? Or do I need to put them back and wait til she's got her little bunch of eggs to remove them, and hope she doesn't go broody? She is not currently sitting on them, so far as I can tell.
We've had geese for a while, but never a mated pair, so this is all new to us. Thanks in advance!
