After many more weeks then is necessary for incubation, this was the last unhatched egg to survive under my unsuccessful mother goose, Fanny. It needed to be nicked and disposed of very carefully so while the protective and aggressive geese parents were off having a flap and a graze I snuck, yes snuck, Starsky and Hutch style around the other side of the house and very swiftly and gently nicked off with the potentially offensive contraband. Two commando rolls and flattening myself against the side of the house was all it took. After photographing it, as you do, I carefully wrapped it in newspaper and sealed it in a plastic bag and it has become landfill with some other garbage from our home. Fanny continued to sit on her nest for a few days but eventually the novelty wore off. Sorry little lady but your nest is right outside our bedroom window and that is one big nasty rotten egg.
