Advice on Colors and Quantity

[GuineaLady93]

I am going to buy some more guinea keets in the spring to add to my flock I have now. I have a pretty good idea of what colors I am going to get but I was just wondering if there were any colors that were more rare than the others. So just say how many of which colors depending on their rarity.
Here are the colors that I have now: Pearl, White, Buff Dundotte, Buff, Slate, Brown, Royal Purple, and Coral Blue.
Here are the colors that the person that I am buying from next year has: Blonde, Brown, Bronze, Buff, Buff Dundotte, Coral Blue, Chocolate, Lavender, Lite Blue, Lite Lavender, Opaline, Pastel, Porcelain, Powder Blue, Pearl, Pewter, Royal Purple, Sky Blue, Slate, Violet , White.

Thanks,
Ashley

Ok, some of those I have, but the ones that I don't I will definably be getting some of them. I saw that you live in TX, that is where the ones I am getting in the spring are coming from! I am sooo excited!!

In my area all of the non-pearled colors are rare (and I don't have any in my breeding flocks). The non-pearled colors are recessive to all the partially or fully pearled colors.

Unless you keep certain colors separated, your flock has a lot of dominant colors and degrees of pearling in it already and their colors and degrees of pearling will have major potential to dominate your hatches if they breed with your new colors. (One of the main reasons why I have a light flock and a dark flock, had I let everyone breed freely, I'd have ended up with mostly dark keets).
