no. but if you want new ones it is. its hard to tell which is which  well it is for us. we thought we had three pairs turns out we have 5 geese. he helps protect them so they are not a big deal.

Don't think this is true. I just "googled" and there is no mention of it - it does say that geese are not good layers and you only get upto 40 eggs a year! Maybe I am wrong.
