My momma goose is setting a second time on a small clutch of eggs, including one duck egg she claimed. I also gave her one of the ones I ordered from eBay to ensure she had enough to set. When I candled her eggs yesterday, the eBay egg was mysteriously gone without a trace. I marked it with permanent marker so I’d know which one it was. Today, she was off the nest for a few. Lo and behold, another of her eggs is gone, seemingly one that was not developing. There is no evidence there was even another egg there at all… no shells… nothing.
Do momma geese cull the bad eggs on their own? By eating them?!
