I'm not an expert on it, its years since we killed a goose. I asked my dad last night and he said not to leave the goose hanging for as long as you would leave a turkey. He recommends a turkey to hang for 10 days and a goose for 5 to 7. He also said that you hang a turkey from its legs to allow the fluids to flow to the head, but you hang a goose from its head. (don't take it as gospel but this is what he said.) Try google for better information.
