Double goose or Double geese?
'double goose' is a specific term that relates to the feather filling in jackets. It is always singular.

'Geese' is the plural of goose. I would refer to one goose, to three geese, and so on.
'Room' and 'chin' are regular nouns. A 'double chin' refers to a layer of fat that looks like a second chin. A 'double room' is an informal term for a large room, perhaps in a hotel.
