Keet Color ID’s? First Guinea Hatch!!

[MissTracy]

I hatched my first keets yesterday, out of a mix of parents, which include:

• Pearl
• Royal Purple
• Blonde
• Pied
• Lavender

I think the keets are mostly royal purple, but any help on them would be much appreciated!

The two at the bottom look like Pearl Grays. The one above them appears to be a Pied of some sort, but I do not recognize the color pattern on the back. It is definitely not a Royal Purple.

The two in the second row from the top look like Pied Pearl Grays. The one at the top needs a better shot of the top of the head and a side view to try to determine what color it is.

There are no Royal Purples in the photo. Royal Purples are partially dotted. As such they will have squiggly lines on the top of their heads. Broad center stripes indicate that the keets will grow up to have full dotting.

One from the top of the previous photo. Who knows?!
Thank you so much for your help! The color chart I found online was too tiny to compare them to.

Thank you so much for your help! The color chart I found online was too tiny to compare them to.

The color chart that I provided the link for has the keets at the bottom. You have to click on the pic in order to see it full size.

The keet at the top appears to have a broad center stripe and will be fully dotted as an adult. The one in the second row from the bottom appears to be the same color except in the Pied version.

I don't recognize the back color of either so that is about as much help as I can be on them.

Enjoy your new babies.

Congratulations!!! They are beautiful keets! I would love to know what color that mystery keet turns out to be!

Here are some pics of the possible parents of those mystery colors... I think that last one is more of a ‘dishwater blonde’ lol
