Identifying keet colors

[Sydney65]

Pearl Gray is a dominant color gene which only requires the presence of one copy to be present. It is not an underlying recessive color gene which requires the lack of any other color genes to be displayed. It has been proven that Pearl Gray can carry hidden recessive color genes such as blue and buff.

What we know as the no dotting gene which I believe is actually not a gene but simply the lack of either the full dotting gene or the partial dotting gene. He is referring to this as the attenuating gene.

In my opinion,he is glossing over a lot of things. From what I have read, the buff gene is a sex link gene. I have seen no evidence that the Bronze is a sex link gene since the evidence available indicates that Bronze is a variant of Royal Purple. I did not see any mention of the dark shade variance.

And that was the 3rd question. Guinea Farm Bronze :

I’m also a member of the FB group Guinea Fowl Enthusiasts. One of the admins there is working on a guide (not complete) and has this as her bronze picture. In the screen shot I’ve uploaded, there is no pic yet for “chocolate bronze” but there is a pic for bronze.

What an interesting colpr scheme. I'm guessing there was a RP in the mix, but it sure looks like black..which I think Italy listed as extinct & not reconstituted. (Just add water!).
Lol I abandoned FB yrs ago. Sometimes it's tempting to go back, but so far I'm holding strong.

I wonder if that is a “Teddy Bear” or greater pearled keet?

I believe i now have better and clearer pics of this little guy. I wasnt able to control myself. I drove to this little guy's place and took him home along with 2 african whites and another keet which color i dont know.... Can someone help me again? Please?!

Just a guess but it might be a Pinto rather than Pied.

Y’all make my head spin with all the genetics talk
I want to learn more about, but man does it get confusing

Ditto. I remember the 1st time he started talking about "squiggly lines"; I thought the man was doing some guinea version of tea-leaf reading.

Looks like Pearl grey on the right. The left? R2elk had a good thought with pinto. PG pinto? I hope you’ll post some pics as they grow!

Will definitely do that! I also plan to make my own photo collection of gkeet colors and what would they grow out to be. For a reference that i could also share to everyone
