Any ideas on the breeds of these very unusual chicks?

These are not my chicks, just wanting to find out what they are, thanks in advance.

I've never seen any chicks colored like either of these, and I've scanned through bunches of chick breed photos and can't find anything like them. I hope someone here can identify them. If so, I will learn something new (even after 50 years of raising chickens). You can teach on old dog new tricks. )

I haven't seen anything like them either! The chicks in the second picture are absolutely adorable though!

Where did the pics come from? What other information could you give us that could help narrow things down?

They look like chicks, but is it possible they could be guineas?

A guinea website shows a picture of a violet guinea keet that looks like the ones in the latter picture...

You know, that very thought crossed my mind when I was looking at them but they didn't look like the typical keets you see for sale and I didn't know enough about Guineas to know whether or not any of the rarer keets looked like these. But those on the bottom sure look like your picture of a Violet Guinea keet. I wonder if the top chicks are actually some kind of Guinea keet as well?

Yes, maybe. If you look to the right in the bottom picture, you can see heads that look more like typical guineas. Still, could be wrong on all of this.

They sure are adorable! I'm not sure quite what "they" are, though.
