I don't think they are pied royal purple, royal purples are supposed to have a lot of white on their faces, wings, and bellies.

Ok well we are still up in air about #3 totally... they can't be royal purple, or choc because they have solid striping on their heads, according to the link, they would have irregular striping on their heads... All keets except #2 have solid striping... I agree with #1 and #4, now what are #3 and #5?? Any guesses?

Okay, #1 definitely looks like lavender

#2 looks like buff

#3 looks like brown, or possibly pied brown

#4 looks like pearl grey (already knew that one

)

#5 looks somewhat like buff dundotte, but also like pearl. But some could also be brown.

Hope this helps, these are really hard!!

The tops ones could be either Lavender or Coral blues.
They look very similar at a young age.

I am selling 8 my pearl (#4) , 4 lavender (#1), 3 of the ones I think are pied brown (#3) and 7 of the #5 keets. I am only keeping 6 for myself to raise up and I kept all of those from the #5 keets. And I cannot find the one I thought was buff (#2)...looks pretty much like the #5 keets today, Some of the #5's are darker and some are lighter... needless to say, I am keeping 3 of the light #5's and 3 of the darker #5's. We'll see what they turn out to be

But the others are all up for sale. I'm asking $5 for the #1 and #4's and $10 for the #3 and #5's. Let me know if anyone is interested!

They do indeed look very similar, but all of them have the dark stripes on their heads, and not the irregular stripes like coral blues have.

The royal purple guineas i have looked exacly like that when they where younger, and they are pied royal purple.
Although i am not an expert, thats what i think.

Royal purples should also have the irregular stripes on their heads, not solid.

Here are some keets I got the eggs off ebay... parents were Pearl, white, lavender and blue.

I believe these are sky blues:

And these are either royal purple or pied royal purple:

Do ya'll agree?
