Guinea keet colors

[Mixed flock enthusiast]

I just hatched six keets from my flock! I started with 12 eggs, 4 were clear and two quitters, but all six that went into lockdown have now hatched. Pretty good fertility for our one guinea cock who has seven guinea hens! Cock is lavender, hens are: lavender, pearl, purple, pearl pied, and purple pied. These eggs were from a communal nest, so I expected a mix of colors, but all six keets are lavender or blue. Three keets are the typical lavender with blue stripes and stripe behind the eye. However, three keets are lavender (or blue) with white underneath at wings, belly, bottom of face, see pic for the two different colors in the hatch. I am guessing that these keets are either lavender pied or coral blue. Is there a difference between those two colors in the keets? Thanks!

Those are lavender pied. Coral blue have squiggles on the head while lavenders have the same bars as pearl.

Thanks for the info! Yes, I do see some bars on their heads!

Need shots from above to be able to determine what they are. I suspect that they are Coral Blues but since I cannot see what the top of their heads look like it is impossible to say.

They do have the solid head stripe of Lavenders. The one's with the white faces and chests are pied. At least one is not pied.
