Is it just me, or do the turkey wings look sparkly? Do they look that way in person?

Great looking poults Jody. We had two WET poults hatch, but one just died two days ago. So the other poult is in with our ringneck pheasants.

Silly question, but what is a guinea keet? Is a 'keet' a baby guinea fowl?
LOL! I'm a parrot person...looked at the photos of 'baby keets' expecting to see parakeets!

Thanks everyone. Yes, a keet is a baby guinea fowl.

OOOh, I love the pearly keets! I just wish they stayed cute.

We just had some keets hatch today. I'm not a great fan of guinea fowl but if they eat ticks.......

Ours seem to have down colours I've never seen before. I see some of similar colours in your pictures. I wonder whether you would tell me what colour these will be as adults. Some of ours are greyish with no markings; some are pale with faint stripes, some are with the brown stripes on the back & head but white wings, underneath & side of face.

Pretty babies! The keets are precious--and if they take out ticks, they are "okay" in my book, lol. I'll have to get a few-- next year.
