Thanks for all the help, I never thought of turkey. My six year old daughter calls them surprise mystery birds. She says we will see what they are when they get bigger. I am in the Philippines. I asked the sister of the guy who gave them to me if they have turkey's at her mom's house. She said, oh, maybe, maybe they just called it wrong. Meaning, they thought the english word for turkey is goose. Basiyan word for goose is, hands, and turkey id, pabo. She says they might have made a mistake in the translation. I will research turkey. We have chickens, ducks, rabbits and cats, all free range. We will maybe now have turkey's. Thanks again.

I just noticed that spell check changed my words. The bisayan word for goose is "gansa", and the bisayan word for turkey is "pabo". I think they just got confused with the translation.

My helper went to her parents house in the mountains Sunday, her day off. She brought me back pictures of the mamma and daddy of my mystery birds. You were right, they are turkeys. hahaha

Ok, my "geese", are about 2 months old now. I am planning to give a Tom and Hen to my wife's parents up in the mountains. 3 of mine are getting black feathers, while the other 3 are staying white. Can I assume the 3 with black feathers are Tom's and the all white ones are hens?

Pictures showing white ones and the ones that are starting to develop black feathers.
