not very long because they have to keep other gosling safe
They do not get lice, but they can get ticks...that's why you always see them fixing their feathers. They take frequent baths, preen their feathers, spread a little of their natural skin oils on their feathers and they're good.

How does a Canada goose migrate?
i don't know how do you expect a 60 year old man to know that question?
A 60 year old man may not, but a 40 year old woman does! Just how the Canada migrates is still unknown. There are a number of theories out there including using the Earth's magnetic field, star patterns when migrating at night, landmarks from which they can see in the air...those are just a few. I guess until we can actually communicate with them we really don't know how they do it.
Can a newly hatched gosling go straight into water?
If the gosling was hatched naturally, with it's mother, then Yes...it can go straight to the water. However, if you artificially hatched the egg using an incubator, or similar method...then NO. Artificially hatched goslings (and most aquatic fowl) do not have the protection of their mother's oil on them. They are not "water-proof" and will become wet & chilled, as the water will not bead up & roll off of them. Artificially hatched goslings should not be introduced to water until they are no longer "fuzzy". Once you see actual feathers beginning, their own oil gland (located just above the base of the tail) is functioning & they will instinctively use their beaks to spread the oil to other areas of their bodies. This is why birds & water fowl "preen" so often...to distribute these oils.
Are geese killed down pillows?
Geese do not have to be killed for pillows. Sometimes the down comes from slaughtered birds. Other manufactures pluck the birds while still alive. This is painful to the bird.
How does duck duck goose effect an infants emotional development?
If an infant plays too much 'Duck Duck Goose', then it will become an addiction. And if you have an infant addicted to 'Duck Duck Goose', you have a serious problem. A 'Duck Duck Goose' addiction can lead to serious problems later in life. For example, one might think one is a goose, and might try to fly, and we all know where that ends up.
Geese cannot produce milk. Technically only mammals can, although some birds make a milky substance they regurgitate to their young. If you mean "Can geese take milk" I wouldn't recommend it, as birds are unable to digest lactose, and may get stomach upsets and diarrhoea as a result of dairy intake. Lactose-free equivalents should also not be given, as they are toxic to birds.
Sex determination of geese and other birds is done by examining their cloaca. The cloaca is a common duct for urination, defecation, copulation, and ovulation.
