Do geese kill their runts. sure I was told once that the parents often off or abandon runt of goslings. Is this true?

Geese do not intentionally kill or abandon their runt goslings. While some goslings may not survive due to natural factors such as predation or illness, geese generally exhibit parental care and protect their young. Both parent geese participate in raising their goslings, providing them with food, protection, and guidance until they are strong enough to fend for themselves.
