My new Keets (pics)

What color are Coraline Keets? Thought I heard someone say they had some. Thanx!

I've got 10 opaline/coralline keets. They are WHITE, so far. My first time for this color, so don't know what to expect. I just got them to eat ticks, regardless of the color.

Coralline is not a color.. The only thing that comes close is Coral Blue.

Do you have any pictures of them? That would help with solving the color of them.

Steven,

Right now I'm on a walker, recovering from surgery. I'll get pics in a week or two. The guineas are up at the farm.

Oh I'm so sorry! I hope you recover fast! Its never fun having to stay at/in the same place everyday.

Thanks everyone. I am familiar with many different colors of guineas so if this is something new, I would love to see them. I have seen a very bright blue guinea online during a search but I think it was possibly not available here in the US.

Steven is correct, there is no recognized Coraline color in Guinea fowl...

An Opaline crossed with a Coral Blue can produce Lite Blue keets, if maybe that's where you came up with the color name of Coraline? I've hatched quite a few of all 3 colors (plus over 1000 keets in 15+ other colors, lol), and I am pretty good at IDing keets, so I should be able to tell what they are if you can post good clear pics that show their head markings well.

Opalines are typically really light/almost white when they hatch, and being a partially pearled variety they have white wings all the way to the shoulders which can greatly contribute to them looking pure white... but they will still have faint broken head stripes and a slight blue/grey center stripe down their backs. (And when they start to feather in their feather shafts still have a slight blue/grey tint to them.). Lite Blue keets' markings are even more obvious, and they also have wings that are white all the way to the shoulders, which stand out a little more on this color.

Looking fwd to seeing pics of your babies once you recover!

Well, Peeps, there were also some Pieds in the hatch, which my sister KEPT! Just can't get the love of Pinto coloring out of her!

Even her Jersey cow has some white on her.

I saw a pic of a purple pied. It was soooooo pretty. Judy, what is your avitar pic of? Calf or Kid? I can't quite tell and I have never seen that breed before but it sure is beautiful.

Those are Dorper lambs from this Spring. They are a hair sheep, originating in South Africa.

Those are Fullblood ram lambs with dirty knees, lol.

They are supposed to be white with a black head. There's also White Dorpers.

They are a meat breed, and very tame to work with.
