Thanks for this link, TPC... A good read and good to remember! ;)
"Female selects nest site, builds nest, and incubates eggs. She may brood goslings in cold, wet, or windy weather and while they’re sleeping for first week after hatching."

Poor Mother Goose is just soaked! I am sure that it does not help to have bald spots on her neck and back, either, from the disgruntled attack gander. From what I have seen, she has not left the nest to go eat for hours, and I am sure she is getting very hungry.

You're welcome, Kinderchick, as soon as I read that post, I realized I'd goofed.
She had her head down, her tail up and was pushing the eggs together when I saw it! Very strange, even when you know what it is.
