Yes, a large duck can fight a goose but this is not the norm. Most ducks are too small to mess with a goose and will run if given the chance. We have raised both ducks and geese and our ducks have only gone after a goose when it came too near its nest.

How do you build a nest box for pekin duck?
Unlike chickens, ducks do not prefer to lay their eggs in a nest box. In fact, in my experience, Pekin ducks will lay their eggs wherever they happen to be sitting at the time - some will even lay an egg while swimming in the water. If you truly feel the need to provide your Pekin duck with a nest box, a simple, three-sided plywood box should suffice.
What is the difference between a wood duck and a water duck?
Wood ducks are just another breed of ducks. They are usually wild. Wood ducks (in Australia and I presume in other countries too) still love the water. Australian wood ducks feed almost entirely on grass, where as other breeds eat a lot of insects. Wood ducks have also been known to perch and nest in trees. ~BlackWolf1112
Will a mother duck return to its nest if your remove some of the eggs?
Yeah, most likely, especially if her young are still there. This is not, of course, reason to disturb her nest yourself. And actually, under the Migratory Bird Act, it is illegal to disturb the nest, eggs, or young of native birds.
Where do ducks mostly find food?
Ducks mostly find food in the pond which is either pond fish or bread sunk from tourists that fed them.But the duck would have to find food in their habitat as they cant leave the nest out of sight as either if they have eggs a blackbird or a crow will come and eat them. Or if another bird lands in it, the senses will be left in the nest and when the duck comes back the sense of the other bird that was there will be smelt by the other duck and fly off making another nest in a quieter place as they can find.
How do chicken eggs hatch at the same time?
Chickens are creatures of habit. They can change nests, and often do, but for a stretch, they like one nest and one nest only. And there are usually fewer nest boxes than hens. When a broody hen claims one box to sit in, and other hens really like that particular box, there is a bit of a problem as to everyone getting time enough to sit. They will fuss and fume, but not actually fight for the nest. It's more interesting to watch ducks. They will chose a nesting area. If one duck builds a good nest, then several ducks will share it. I've seen as many as 6 ducks at one time sharing a nest. It's almost like they like each other's company. The last duck to lay a egg is the one responsible for covering the eggs with down or dried grass. I've never seen them fuss about being the primary duck in the nest, like the chickens do. In the wild, this may be a protective feature of the birds. If all the eggs are in one "basket", then all the hens/ducks will share in protecting the eggs from danger.
