I have done lots of geese. I can say a big Amen to James' comment on
plucking. Removing the feathers is slow work. The down comes
off relatively easily. We sold a couple of dozen every year for Christmas
dinners and used the down. Our biggest problem was not tearing the skin
when removing the down.
