White with pearls

[zazouse]

Last year i purchased a few white guineas to add varity to my flock, they are solid white.

This spring i hatched out some eggs from my flock and all my white offspring have pearls on all their feathers, is this normal, i never had white so i do not know.

I also have royal purple, lavender,pieds and pearls so i do not know what mating made this occur, but my guess would be the lavender to white.

Heres a photo of mom and growing keet

Here's a close up of the pearls on white.

I'm not sure what cross would have made that, but how neat!! I can't get that close to my guineas unless it's dark outside!

Whatever cross it is... you got lucky!

I'll have one or two...

I'll have to look the color up again but I think that's opaline. I've got a couple of them in my flock. They're coming out of my lavenders.

Or they might be porcelain. Hard to tell by the pics I found on the net.

This might help. If they are fully pearled they are probably porcelain, if only partially pearled then opaline.

Thanks for the link.

She is totaly covered in spots and stark white no hint of any other color so i don't know what type she would be considered.

Probably porcelain, whites don't have any spots.
