Geese flock, new gosling question

[NwChickOwner]

We have a Pilgrim gander, Pilgrim goose, and Buff goose that we got two years ago when they hatched. This year they hatched one egg successfully. It looks to be a Pilgrim gander, he is about 4-weeks old now. It looks like none of the other eggs will hatch, there was one we found dead by the nest with membrane still on her. I need advice on how to keep this group healthy and happy. We will soon have the two Pilgrim ganders (father and son) with the Pilgrim goose and Buff goose. So far, the three older birds are taking great care of the little one but I am concerned as he gets older there will be an issue. What would you do? We are wondering if we should try to find two geese around the same age as the baby so our ratios will be okay and he won't be the only young one? Or is that necessary?

If you want to keep the extra male it may be helpful to get a few more females. Things my be fine until next spring. I have multiple gander without too much troubles, but I also have lot of females.
