    I know I probably sound daft but do you know if they kill the geese to make these, or is it a by-product of the meat industry, or do they just collect feathers that have fallen off naturally? lol

    Hmm I think the down is the really soft fluffy feathers on the breast, so I would imagine it comes as a by-product..but I am not sure

    Thanks fluffynit. I did a bit of a Google and yeah, it's not a nice industry from the Geese's point of view.

    Thanks anyway Kipper, nice to see you.
