Does my male Chinese goose need a mate?

[TexanDuckMama]

Spring has sprung and I'm back to thinking about finding a mate for our goose. We have a brown male Chinese goose, a male mallard, and 3 white Pekin hens. The goose mounts all three females and I've had to separate them because he has opened a wound on his favorite female's head. I'm writing to ask you, do you think if I got a white Chinese goose, would he still try to service everyone? I was thinking of a white one because it looks like his other ladies. Maybe he'd be better off with one similar to his own coloring. (I know there would be a long adjustment period, separate flocks to introduce for 2 weeks to a month) He is quite a jerk (except to my teens), would having another female more his size help or make things worse? opinions? experiences?

My alpha African brown gander flirts with and covers the ducks despite having 4 goose girls to choose from, 2 of whom he sired goslings with last season. No guarantees he'll get over his thing for ducks. It's best to have a companion of his own kind, period.

It would be best if separate him with his new companion for a while so they can bond.
When I added a new gander to my goose/duck flock, he did try to mate with the larger ducks that I had and ignored the lone female goose without a mate. But wouldn't you know, once the ducks were separated he didn't really have a choice!
I only separate the ducks during the breeding season so when everyone is back together he is still paired strongly with his female.
