I just read this excerpt on page 61 from the article "My long goose breeding saga" by Harvey Ussery in BackYard Poultry magazine Dec 2010/Jan2011:
It is the "attentions" of the gander that bring on the hormonal changes that induce laying in the goose.

The way I understand this is the goose will only lay eggs if there is a gander in the flock? I've never heard this statement before but admittedly I've only been researching geese for a few months now. I know it is true in Emus...
