OK, Here is my tiny survivor. I've been googling Guinea keets all morning and I'm so confused!

I 'thought' I had it narrowed down to Bronze, Chocolate or Royal Purple which are all supposed to be partially pearled as adults. THEN I found a few webpages that said if the chick had solid stripes on its head then it would be fully pearled?! Broken stripes mean it will be partially pearled and my little dude (dudette?) has 1 thick solid black stripe between 2 smaller solid stripes.

Also, since Tiny is the only surviving keet, I should probably get it a friend right? This it now the only Guinea I would have. The rest are chickens and ducks????

My guess is that it is a pied pearl.

The recommended minimum is 10 guineas because they are a flock bird.
