OMG you guineas are amazing... but for whatever a novice keepers opinion is worth... I do still agree with GL93... like ok, so we have a pure white guineafowl.. OK so we call it white fair enough... but when the white spots show up on the bird.. I dont know what Im trying to say really... maybe this bird should be called something other than pearly white? To avoid confusion?

Thanks
Zach


LOL Zach, come on, she bred the bird, shouldn't she be able to call it whatever she wants?

There are variations in all of our colors here in the US, why not in the White as well? I know you guys do not have much to work with down there as far as variations and mutations go but it doesn't take much for a new mutation to develop over here (which is why we have 20+ different colors plus). Zaz has a huge flock, of lots of colors... there's a pretty high chance of something new to pop up in her hatches.

Scroll up and read my first reply to you about opacity, you might have missed it.


Agreed big_smile
I understand now... pearly whites just threw me a little roll LOL

Hey Oz guys.....  thumbsup  hang in there trolls are not usually tolerated for long here.   with close to 10,000 members BYC is patrolled by very very good Moderators.

FWIW:  your phone camera may just be an olympus....  I worked in the Telecommunications industry Cell phones to be exact and believe me they do NOT put their own hardware and software in the phone if it exists already.  So it is totally possible the camera that took the pix was a n Olympus digital.... Lens and software. 

Am looking forward to the resumption of the OP's topic....  trying to packin a hundred years of learnin in one life time here.....  My Guineas are under six months old and come from PeepsCA breeding stock.  I cant have white here because of the Mountain lions and Bob Cats and Coyotes..... Sigh.  light colors just seem to disappear out of the flocks up here.

Holey moley, that's some cool predators (not for your birds of course) We have introduced foxes, and wild dogs (dingo dog hybrids), alot of deadly snakes, and heaps of birds of prey.

Oh there is more  The usual flying things. Hawks, Owls, Falcons, even Ravens will steal eggs and chicks.  Then there are also the Raccoons, weasels and Desert foxes,   Our rattle snakes aren't as dangerous as the snakes you have but some of them are as big around as my forearm and more than four feet long.  Very intimidating.   I see their tracks in the sand on the road.    I have a rock canyon that goes behind the house that is about twenty feet deep and have heard mountain lion screams from there.  They sound like a woman or even a peacock screaming with a dog bark at the end. 

out of fifty one keets I started with I am left with seven.  Most were nabbed before their stripes were off their head.    I Now have three females and four males.  ONe of the females had her leg pulled off through Chainlink....  Miss Peggy survived and is happily Buck Wheating her head off hopping around on one foot.  Oh and I have one lavender one lavender that has a brownish hue (Miss Peggy) One pied and Three Pearls.  The two light colored birds are females and I have one Pearl female. 

The coop and run are secure now.... and everyone is on lock down till I start getting eggs.

Happiness is when you can look at your chickens and smile....
Worry is interest paid on trouble before it comes due.

Flockwatching my little bunch of mutts, a favorite pastime.
