Turkey poult or Guinea keet? How can you tell?!

Ahh, I see, it's the clear head stripes! Yes, some of the turkey poults I saw had one or two clear stripes, but now that I look closer they had lots of spots too.
Thanks! Learn somethin' new everyday!

Any idea as to what type of Guinea it is? Plain ol' Pearl?

Baby turkeys also have teeny tiny specks of a snood, even at that young of an age. Even the girls have a small snood. Theirs just doesn't get as big when they are grown.

keet.KEET.keet.

The difference between their body shapes and the coloring of their beaks.
Like deeszoo said, turkeys have a "bump" where their snood should be forming directly above their beaks.

The differences are becoming more obvious the more I look at them! This keet has a small bare patch/slight bump on it's head, but I wasn't sure if it was a turkey snood, a keet helmet bump, or just a spot from getting picked on, LOL.

Thanks for all the info, guinea experts!
