2021 guinea hatches

[R2elk]

Two lavender and 5 pied lavender

Might be the lighting but the one on the lower left looks like it might be a Pied Brown.

Yeah I think that’s the red light throwing the color off. I was right next to the brooder when I took those pictures. I wish it was a pied brown. That would be cool.

I know that’s the only reason I got a white keet. My white male stole a white female for a week that I saw.

I'm wondering how I got a white keet because I only have one white hen.

Perhaps a male in your group is carrying a white gene?

I hav't paid to much attention to genetics , mainly concerned with just keeping them alive. But your right, must be one of the pied does because a couple of them were hanging out with her. She is my only hen who doesn't have a preferred mate. She is to broody to have a boy friend I think

Yep, that would be it. Pied carries a white gene.
I’ll be keeping a pied pearl, pied lav, and a white I hatched this year. I’m hoping for pinto in the future if things workout pair wise next year. But with free ranged guineas you never know what will happen. Haha.

I don't normally handle keets but it was dragging a Coral Blue around by its toe.
