What is name of a female goose?

Female geese are commonly referred to as "geese" or "goose" regardless of their gender. However, if you specifically want to differentiate between male and female geese, then a female goose is sometimes called a "goose hen" or simply a "hen". Another term used to refer to a female goose is a "pen", which is short for "penitentiary", referring to the protective behavior of female geese over their nests and young. The name of a female goose can also vary depending on the species. For example, a female Canada goose is called a "cackling goose" or "graylag goose".
