Thanks!
Ok, I am absolutely sure that Becky and Pretty are female (because I actually SAW them laying eggs). But Becky has the prettiest Pale Blue Eyes. She is also very friendly. Pretty is aggressive though... can't get too close or she will clobber me.
As for the other three. I am completely unsure on Pecky. The previous owner told me that Tyrone and Napoleon were both Ganders so I'm going on what someone else told me. Has he ever had them sexed? Not likely... Or if so, who knows if the person doing it knew what they were doing. So, I'm not 100% sure on them. I do see very male type agressive behaviour from Tyrone, Napoleon and Pecky so I am assuming that they are male. I remember the old man (previous owner) telling me that a certain one was a Pilgrim mix but (of course) I can't remember now and at the time I had NO CLUE about any type of goose breed. I was just delighted to have them, regardless of what they were.
Buddy was colored very much like Pecky. We live on about 500ft elevaton and he just flew right on down the hill. I was shocked that he/she could pick up that big goose bum and fly. It was in Dec and the wild geese were at a pond down the hill... Not sure if Buddy took off with them or ended up on someone's table? I like to think the former.
As for the others, here are their eye colors:
Napoleon - Brown (also he is the only one with that "goose bump" on his beak... like the chinese have, ya know? Its the main difference between him and the other assumed ganders. Also he is bigger but also older)
Tyrone - dark blue
Pretty - Brown
Pecky - blue
Becky - Very light pale blue
