how close are your neighbours. geese like to wander. they like green stuff ie gardens. they poo a lot and can be noisy. and grumpy. not a bird for neir neighbours

I think you'll have to make sure they are totally enclosed until they are really too big for anything other than a fox to take.  Even then you'll still lose them if there is a fox near you.  Look what happened to those babies.  Time all foxes were shot on sight
My answer is a fox, lost 9 Aylesbury full grown ducks, all heads missing, saw Mrs.Fox later coming back for the rest!

I have high fencing around my land but not all of it is in perfect order. Its enough to keep my escape artist dogs in but for some reason foxes and badgers are still getting through...

Neighbours are a few hundred yards as the crow flies but my geese can't get out and aren't close enough to bother them with noise etc.
