This is indeed a very interesting question. Come to think that will goose feather reproduce if only part of it is trimmed/ removed? I guess they will not. Also, also since they are so many goose being slaughtered daily and why not salvage the feather for shuttlecocks?
Geese and ducks molt their feathers every year, naturally, all by themselves, so you could follow your pet geese or ducks around and collect the left wing feathers as they dropped out and use them to make your own shuttlecocks if you wanted to make some that involved not killing the birds.
The feathers ARE harvested from slaughtered ducks and geese and used for many uses, shuttlecocks included, the geese are not killed to get the feathers, the feathers are removed to get to the meat. The shuttlecock manufacturers do get the left wing feathers from the meat processing factories.
Goose
shuttlecocks are usually made from feather from goose (geese) but RSL Classic Tourney feather shuttlecocks are very good and yonex make good shuttlecocks too.
A shuttlecock is traditionally made with goose feathers stuck into a cork base, but rubber and plastic shuttlecocks are more common now, as they are less easier to become damaged or ripped. The sport that shuttlecocks are used in is badminton.
The frame of the high quality shuttlecock is actually 16 goose feathers secured in the cork and tide with thread. More commercial shuttlecocks use nylon mesh in place of the goose feathers.
Goose Feather was created in 2004.

its kill the birdy with a racket silly goose!
there are 16 goose feathers in all in a badminton shuttle
You are referring to a feather shuttlecock. It contains 16 goose feathers all in all. Since you are just asking for the number of feathers, then I guess my answer is already complete.
The singular possessive form for the noun goose is goose's.Example: Jack stuck the goose's feather in his hat.

Because if they used the right wing they wouldn't be able to make black shuttlecocks.
