White Guinea

[Vaughnr007]

Yep, we couldn't believe our eyes. We've had only Royal Purple Guineas for seven years and sell off the keets. I'd been looking for their nests and finally found the big one. I knew of another nest in the day lillies that were soaked from all the rain. So I grabbed them all and put them in the incubator.... 60+ eggs. I was surprised that most of them hatched! But the biggest surprised was a pure white one. All past hatches have been RP so this was the first exception. At first it was hard to distinguish him from the others so we named him WALDO. He has all the characteristics of his siblings and I continue to wonder where he came from. And NO we are keeping him and 3 others to add to their group.

If you had pied guineas in your flock, they can produce white guineas.

From the last pic, it doesn't look white to me but rather like one of the real light colored guineas such as Opaline. That can happen due to at least 2 of your Royal Purples carrying hidden recessive genes.
