Babies are and adorable

[Mixed flock enthusiast]

This is a beautiful assortment of the Fancy breeds. The choices may include: Buff, Buff Dundotte, Coral Blue, Lavender, Opaline, Porcelain & Royal Purple. Hope this helps. I don’t have a clue with Guinea. I just love them! I had grey before. Am owl took all of them two a week until they were all gone! At we thought it was a hawk, but they were way to big for a hawk. So one morning I was out in the barn and saw it take one right off the gate 10 feet from me. That owl was huge didn’t make sound. I was so sad I haven’t had them for years because of it.

I think that R2elk lost some of his original guineas to owls also! Will you be training your new keets to coop up at night?

Yes and will keep them in the coop until they are huge

They still need to be in a secure coop at night to protect them from predators. My guineas were adults at the time I lost the entire flock to Great Horned owls because I allowed them to roost outside at night.

I will be keeping them in the barn at night with my sheep and donkey

Ok, Stromberg do have brown, so since they promise not to send PG or white, MAYBE 1 & 3 are brown?
2 & 5 are lavender, 4 sure looks violet, 6 & 8 are buff dundotte, 7 royal purple.
@R2elk said they get theirs from GF, so mb there was a supply issue & they sent what they had. ‍

Oh honey, if I may suggest, take away that food bowl and just scatter a handful as they eat it. I'm super paranoid abt everything poop related, & they will poop in that bowl, contaminating a whole lotta food.

@PeepsCA would put some bedding in a small bucket then put a group of keets in the bucket for her photo shoots. It made it easy to see the tops of their heads and backs while keeping them from darting around.
