What color are my guineas??

[judyc]

I HOPE they are buff dundotte, since I bought some eggs from you on Ebay!

I bought some Buff Dundotte eggs from Ralph Winters a long time ago, and then some more about 4 years ago. The first batch were what I call Buff Dundotte--buff with white dots. But the seconc batch were nearly white!

I'm hoping that crossing the nearly white Dundottes with the plain Buffs will bring the color back.

Wish me Luck! Target date is May 10th!

Oh, well thank you for buying them!

I know that most of them are dundotte, there is just one that is really light. She (I think) is very light, but is not white. I think she is either buff or opaline, I couldn't get close enough to see if she had dots on her.

I believe the one I am trying to get from my friend is a royal purple, but I'm not sure. All I know is that it is very very dark, and I want her!!!

The one in the second and third picture looks like a slate (although it is hard to tell in the picture).

May 8th, and I have 5 fertile eggs and one guinea keet in the hatcher! Hatch was due May 10th, but I'll still take her. From the color, it's a girl.

Wow!! That's great! I hope my girls do so well! I went to get eggs from their nest, and they are BOTH sitting on it! I had to cancel my listing!

Thanks for the update, that's great!

Final count---7 keets. (how did I miscount)

Looks like 5 girls and 2 boys. Wow! I'm happy!

The 1 they think is white looks like what they call Buff Dundotte I cheated and looked in McMurrays catalog

 

[shelleyd2008]

Wow! How many eggs did I send you? I know it wasn't more than 8, since I only have 2 females. That's great!!

Yeah, that's the one I was the most confused about. There is actually one male and one female that look like that, and I know they aren't white! I have had whites (well pied actually, but they were lavender and white), and these birds are not white! But the more I look at them, the more I think they are all dundottes. Even the lighter ones have some darker patches on them. Thanks for cheating and checking out McMurrays!
