Any chance that you know which Hen is the mother of the Buff Dundotte male? Or even one that's a full sister to him from his same parents? Those would be my choices of who to add into the mix to maybe possibly hopefully get more BD keets... but there's still no guarantee that you'll for sure hatch more BDs, because of how the different dominant and recessive genes work with Guineas
Since the Porcelain Hen is carrying the tan gene, if the BD breeds with her you should theoretically get some BD keets out of that pair at least... theoretically

. But I think last year when I hatched a keet with light tan like this (he died though :\) it was from a Pearl Pied hen. I think..can't be sure about that either though lol. Actually now that I think about it, I had a Pearl Pied hen go broody last year out in the field, we caged her up out there and she hatched out her babies, she had like 20 I think. Anyway, she had three light tan colored keets I think. Something got into the cage after a little while somehow (don't know how, it was pretty secure) and killed every single one of them..But I think that hens mate was a White cock. Of course, I still don't know if it was one of those "community nest" things or if she laid them all herself :\. I think I'll keep these guys together for a bit, set some eggs from them, and then maybe add a Pearl or Pearl Pied hen and see what I get.
