Purple Spotted Guinea

[SuperPeacockman]

How many of them do you have now? And when was the first born?

 

[FlashPointFarm]

Currently we have 15 Purple Spotted. We've had them for 2 years.

ETA: We started with 3 last year.

If they dont breed true what is the ratio of purple spotted to not purple spotted in the offspring of two purple spotted guineas. Also what are the babies that are not purple spotted, are they pearl?

Is it possible that these are birds that got an extra dose of the pied gene? That would probably make them have more white with very little 'color'.

At least 50% purple spotted from breeding 2 purple spotted. Some will turn out white. We're working on keeping better records of the breeding this year, so will have more information on what we are getting by the end of the breeding season.
