Other than vulturine and vulturine/helmeted guinea crosses, all common guineas are helmeted guineas no matter what color they are. The pearl, lavender, white, coral blue, purple, buff, and etc. are all the same breed just different color variations.

Because they are a flock bird, it is highly recommended to start with at least 10 guineas.

I highly recommend that you read the Raising Guinea Fowl 101 thread and pay particular attention to posts made by PeepsCa.
