I have a very large goose sitting on duck eggs, noticed after several days one was broke on the bottom, not sure if more are, she rarely gets off. Should I just leave it ? Been about 10 days.

There may be a reason it should be removed that I do not know about.

However, consider that removing it could make her upset or whatever and she could stop sitting on the rest!

I think my hens eventually figure out that an egg is bad and push it out of the nest.  Not sure if a goose would know if a chicken egg is bad though.  I guess if you see her off the nest, I'd remove it.  But otherwise let nature take its course.
