It's Official...

[guineaguy]

this is the very first keet I hatched

 

[guineaguy]

bronze peachick dancing and some of those last keets I hatched the next 4 doz are peeping so guess they are going to hatch early.

 

[guineaguy]

44 new keets hatched yesterday

 

[guineaguy]

sure you tell me buffs these seem so pale porcelain paler than these ?

 

[PeepsCA]

The 3 keets with a wide center head stripe are Buff Dundottes (fully-pealed), the one of the right with broken head stripes is a Buff (partially-pearled).

All 4 keets in that pic are tan gene based, not blue gene based. As they grow feathers, the shafts (under the wings) will be a pale cream color, not a light grey/blue color.

ETA: Pic of one of my Porcelain keets

Oops, I just realized I hadn't posted the pic of my last keet hatch... and I do mean LAST keet hatch, lol. I won't let myself set any more Guinea eggs this season. My brooders and grow out pens are at maximum capacity with all the keets I am keeping, plus all of the poults, peachicks and silkie/showgirl chicks that I won't part with, lol.
Done with hatching keets for the year tho, whew.
