Guinea color combinations

[Eric Exley]

I am curious about just some color genetics, I currently have a flock of 6 relatively tame guineas (male/female pair of Royal Purple, and lavenders, and 2 male pearl greys with white flight feathers), but I noticed that my royal purple female paired with the royal purple male, then after the royal purple female started brooding on a clutch of 6 of her own eggs, so I knew I'd get more purples, but I noticed a week later the same purple male has paired with the Lavender female...

so my question is, will I get some kind of mottled mix of both colors, or will it be just one color or the other? Are there any experienced guinea folks out there that can give me an idea of what the outcome would be?
I plan on hatching out the eggs as I find them (of which I have 20+ royal purple eggs, and maybe 5 - 6 Lavender eggs)

I'm honestly not sure why the Lavender female chose the purple male aside from maybe the Lavender male might not have been interested (and the two grey males are a father/son pair and the grey female that used to be with them passed away due to injury from a dog attack when her head got stuck in a fence)

When it comes to which male a guinea hen chooses, only she knows why. When it comes to which guinea male mates with which hen, it is the dominant cock that mates with whichever hen he chooses.

I had a Coral Blue hen that chose a Powder Blue as her mate. They stayed close together all year long except in breeding season. Once the alpha male's hen would go broody, he3 would take this hen also and leave the Powder Blue without a mate.

The Powder Blue male would keep things stirred up by sneaking in and mating with any other male's hen. He was always being chased by the other males during breeding season.

I think you will likely get one or the other color or Pearl Gray, which is dominant and often the fall-back color for all Guineas.

In our little flock, for example, we started with Pearl Gray, Coral Blue, and Buff Dundotte and got keets in all three colors eventually and a few Lavender and one Royal Purple and one Pastel. The first year they were all Pearl Gray. I feel like you never know what comes out.

I guess that would be the case, since I've only had pied, and pearl greys survive to breeding age I wasn't sure how the colors would turn out... also if the purple really is the alpha male he's doing a pretty good job, though i was pretty sure the 3 year old pearl male was the alpha since all the other guineas usually followed him (and he has the strange habit of fighting with every tom turkey he comes across, to such an extent that in one afternoon he had all 6 of my toms that ganged up on him all trying to hide from him), but I guess the 3 other males are too focused on the turkeys that the purple male had the opportunity to win over the lavender female, but I guess soon I'll see what colors hatch out from the combination
