Taking the eggs?

[FoxBurrow]

We have a two year old female Toulouse goose. Last year she laid nine eggs and then went broody and hatched out three. This year we are currently at eight or nine eggs laid. If I take a few away and put them in the incubator, will that encourage her to lay more?

It may.

Is she broody? If she's broody she won't lay anymore. Also remove eggs from her nest at your own peril. If you pair is anything like my dragons it'll be a showdown.
