How long do domestic white geese live?

10-15 years
Geese normally live 10-15 years, but there are stories of some that have lived much, much longer--40 years or more! Around 3-5 years, duck fertility and egg production lessen, and many keepers choose not to keep older birds because of this. But there are many reasons to keep ducks into their older age.

Everybody hates my geese but me. I do have one China White that I brought back with me from Calif. He's gotta be 15+ years old now. His name is Chief, and he loves rubber boots.
