I have hatched 18 guinea fowl and I have no clue what colour they are. I thought I knew but I have been looking at photos and I can not find any that look like mine.
Here are some pictures of them.

All the photos are bad as they would not keep still.

here is what I think is a lavender.

and this is a plain one.

and the normal ones. normal meaning most of them are this colour.

and this is the mamma and pappa. Mamma the lavender, pappa the pearl/pied/whatever he is. he also has white flecks on his chest.

I have some photos of the three week old guineas but I will upload them tomorrow because they take half an hour per photo to load

Go to this web site and find out for yourself. It is interesting and fun:

http://guineafowl.com/fritsfarm/guineas/colors/index.html

and:

http://www.guineafowlinternational.org/colorchart/

My guess:

1 Lavender

2 possibly a pie bald, but may be a regular pearl. You really need to look at the website though

3 PIE BALD !! If these are you "regulars", then you have a very STRONG pie bald gene and this often happens.

4 Has Pearl head colors, but pie bald patterns, still may be a regular pearl.

Nice babies !!
