After all, how would they know they were infertile?
I weould have thought that they could sense movement within the eggs when
they turn the eggs with their beaks.

Perhaps some kids made the holes?
I doubt if kids could get down to where the nests are, and if they did they
would have to face 5 irate adult geese in an enclosed space - I wouldn't
want to try it.
