I participated in some goose egg addling for conservation reasons at a lake where they're overpopulated and causing damage through their numbers. This pretty much involved two of us paddling around the lake in a canoe searching for goose nests, one person would distract the geese, while the other snuck up to the nest and shook the egg until you felt them break inside. The geese would return to the nest, and continue hatching the eggs and be fairly unaware and unperturbed when they didn't hatch. It had to be done that way though. If the eggs were just removed, the geese become stressed and upset and end up just laying another nest.
