Did a check earlier this afternoon. All geese there, no goslings,
still lots of eggs in the nests, but two eggs a couple of metres
from the smaller most distant nest. They appear to have holes in
them. Would the geese do that if they detect that the eggs are
infertile? Heard melodies are sweet, but those Unheard melodies are
sweeter

I dunno. (g)
Are geese as smart as ants? (lol) (cf., the "ant" thread)

Doesn't anyone know then? :(

I guess not. I searched around the website you mentioned
awhile back*, but found nothing about Geese purposely making
holes in their infertile eggs.

After all, how would they know they were infertile?
Perhaps some kids made the holes?
