Guinea talk.

There are now 8 keets out of the nine eggs. I think the last egg has a pip but I'm not sure. One of the keets is lavender!

Did your 9th keet ever hatch? What other colors did you get? You'll have to post some pics of your keets if you get a chance! I have a few lavenders too..it's one of my favorite guinea colors!

I won't be hatching any this spring. I already have 30 chickens, I don't think more would fit in the coop!

No, I'm not sure it ever pipped, pity it was the most active egg durning lockdown. :/

Just one lav and what I guess are pearl grays. (I don't know much about guinea colors)

Aruacana she looks to be mixed becaUse she is huge but that could just be her normal size.
Last night royally stunk though we had someone drive drunk plow from our neighbors driveway and colevert flew over our back driveway, driving through our front yard and totalled my truck and caused major damage to james' truck. Luckily he didnt hit the house.

I think the arucanas lay blue eggs. They are so pretty.

I'm sorry about the accident. I hope he has good insurence to pay for your truck and your husbands too. Did they arrest him? You are lucky he didn't hit the house.

Oh my gosh they are so cute. It looks like you have lots of different colors. I don't know much about the colors either. I saw a beauitful guinea that was spotted on facebook.

Enjoy your keeters and thanks so much for sharing the pics.

Awwww...so cute! Most of them do look to be pearl grays with the exception of the lighter colored (lavender) one.
Here is a great website that lists pictures and descriptions of keet and adult guinea colors:

That's what I thought. I wonder if they carry the lavender gene?

James talked to him while my inlaw was on the phone with the police, lets hope so.
Shes laying dark green eggs for us. Yesterday the new guinea girls got to go outside for a while.
