Hi guys, I recently bought my first ever guinea keets. I've looked through the standard list of colors and I don't know what they are. They're a few weeks old and they look a lot like the pictures I've seen of the pearl grey color but they are definitely very brown.

Their pattern looks just like this but the color is different. Are they perhaps going to change colors as they get older?
In that same vein, I have some Reds I got at Tractor Supply. The bin said they could be Rhode Islands, New Hampshires, or Sex Links. At first I thought they were New Hampshires because they were very light, almost yellow. Now that they are getting their feathers in though they have white wing tips and really dark red shoulder feathers. Any Idea what they are? Is it possible they will change colors too? I will post pictures when my hubby gets home with the camera phone.
