What breed do you think these are?

Anyone know what these are? I purchased some goslings at almost a month old, from a person who had gotten the eggs from these parents in the photo. My one "male" is almost all entirely white at almost 2 months of age. The other "male" has grey tale feathers coming in, but still mainly white with a little grey fluff here and there. The third that is supposed to be the female, does not look like any female pilgrim goslings I've found while searching. It was defintely darker than both, and had a saddleback on it, and a dark head markings... now that it's growing, it looks more like a picture of a normandy, but is bigger than the other two "males". I'm new to geese, and have never seen a pilgrim in person.
I did not get to see them as little goslings and their feet and beaks all look lighter pink to me, not bright orange like the parents in the photo. I will try to get photos posted of mine later. As I'm not sure how to get a picture from my cell phone to my computer.
Thanks kindly!

oh wow! lucky you they are beautiful!
Thanks, I clicked on your blog and read your post about going to the Amish Auction yesterday, that wasn't by chance in Shippensburg was it? We were invited to one in Shippensburg, but did not get it to. That sounds really neat, but I'm sure my husband would ban me from buying anything poultry like now!

Oh, that's funny :) No, it was in Atlantic (about an hour and a half south of Erie)!
Here's my advice: the key, I've found is to always keep your spouse a little in the dark as to how many poultry are actually on the property. Last summer between chicks and baby quail I had like 70 birds - my husband guessed 30. He has no clue.
Pretty sure this is a tactic a lot of people on this site use with their spouses. :lau

You are so right. Glad I'm not the only one

Well, my husband is totally involved in everything around here. He actually gets up before he leaves for work to feed and water all the poultry to help me out. It's honestly funny. He lost 25 pounds in about 2 months this spring by just helping with morning chores! So maybe all husbands will want in on that secret! You made me laugh though. As a child my mom was a sewing addict, and was constantly going to the fabric store, and she would always say "don't tell your dad!" I used to think my dad must be blind or something to not notice the growing piles of fabric in the house!

Oh and I sent pictures of my geese to someone who forwarded them to the orignal owners of the geese from the first post, and she thinks somewhere in the genetics must be cotton patch because hers look just like pilgrims and she was sold them as pilgrims but are stumped by my goslings.
