Those are all Pearl Grays. The Royal Purples and Chocolates do not have a center stripe on their head. They have squiggly lines instead which indicates that they are only partially dotted while the ones with a solid center stripe on their heads are fully dotted.
OHHHH NOOOO!! I did not lose 30 in one day. I HAD 30 and lost them over the course of time. However, my neighbor had 40-some-odd hens and he DID lose 40 in one night... to a wolf pack! Yes, it is sickening.That's terrible that you lost 30 in one day.It makes me sick to my stomach just to think about it.
It does seem that way at times.
The lighter ones are very pretty, but I've read the they are usually the ones that get picked off first by the predators because it's so much easier to spot them.
Ain't that the truth!!
HAHA!! It IS working out great!BTW - that chicken tractor looks like it's working out great.They seem very happy there. I'm just holding mine in a box inside a big dog crate until they get a bit bigger and then I'll have to figure out where to put them when the next batch arrives!
I'm tickled. I previously mentioned - either in this thread or another - that mine started out in a Kohl's box in our RV! ha ha!! That was the only place where I could keep them warm and protected. 
They finally got off the platform and were down on the ground. I thought they were gone and I was momentarily horrified! But then I found them here!! YAY!!!
Thanks!! You too!!
Yes, indeed! Can't wait. I just figured they all be the same color. Now I'm really excited!!
HA HA HA!! Funny. That's okay. They all look the same to me now and whatever color they end up being is fine with me.
That is very cool! Mine are definitely pearl gray.http://guineas.com/colorchart/
Just found this chart and if you scroll down it has keet identification. Very happy about this find - it makes it easier to identify them. What I had found before wasn't as informative. I still like the idea of hair paint.
