Will Ducks and Geese eat Goldfish and Koi

[Tara H]

Hello.
I'm getting conflicting reports from the internet. Will ducks and geese feed on koi and goldfish? They are all 6-7 inches long, but there are a few babies in the pond.

The pond is spring-fed and has lots of living creatures (newts, water bugs, etc) and underwater plants.

This pond is at my mountain house, so I'm not there to actually count the fish. I can see the ducks and geese swimming around on my camera.

Thanks for your input!
Tara

Yes, if they can catch them. In a large deep pond, unlikely that the ducks or geese could catch one. In a small pond that is shallow and no means of escape, then the smaller fish would be goners.
