Guineas with Blue Heads?

[Soltaria]

I posted this question on an old thread where I asked about the color of my guinea keets but it would be really easy to read a few posts and think it had already been resolved without realizing I had updated it so I'm posting here too. If that is a no-no, I'm sorry.
I bought two guineas which started out looking like pearl gray pattern but brown.

Now they have blue heads. Everything I've read says the domestic ones aren't supposed to have blue heads. I tried to get a picture but they weren't too happy about having a camers phone shoved in their face and it doesn't zoom any. They look like this though.

The difference is their wattles are round instead of little points. Anyone know what they are?

My Pearls often have a tinge of blue on their heads but not as much as in the picture. Your picture of your keets looks like young Pearl Greys to me.

Sorry, I had to laugh because that's what my pictures usually look like! Those little devils rarely hold still for a picture. But I did manage to get a good one of one of my adult male pearl grey
a few years ago. He still had a blue tinge to his face.

No need to apologize, I found it quite humorous myself
they really don't like me getting close to them. Too much wild in them i guess.
The chickens will come right up and peck the camera but the guineas only let me get so close.

My hubby calls them all, "the blue headed freaks"

Its perfectly normal. Guineas, when they first get their leathery skin on their face it tends to be blue. Some guineas have it more than others. No, you don't have a wild guinea, its just going through its period of ugly adolescence! Anyways, the blue will completely fade away until the guinea's face is completely white! Hope this helped!
