I'm sure the parents will be VERY protective of the sole survivor

That's way above the average mortality rate in the US. It's possible a more aggressive family assimilated their other goslings into their own brood. It happens quite a lot in the first couple weeks of life for goslings. After the two week period, the goslings are firmly imprinted on their parent geese, and gosling swapping stops happening.
