These birds are from Kerala, India. They came from a remote village farm where they have free range Guinea Fowl, Turkeys, and Aseel, with wild Peafowl visiting daily. These two, along with three others that died in the first week, hatched out on the same day along with Turkey poults under an Aseel hen. In the photos they are over a year old and weighs approx 2kgs.
Ed. note: My guess is Turkey X Guinea.
