I still can't tell what the head stripes look like on the 2 lightest keets

The middle light one looking at the wall looks like it's pure White, and the one on the right looks like it has really faint head stripes, but I need to see them both better to be able to tell if there's a wide stripe in the center of their heads and sets of thinner outline stripes, or if they have thin squiggly/broken stripes... or none at all. Can you tell by looking at the keets, (not the pics)? Maybe you can separate the 3 light keets and get some more pics of them?

The keet I originally said looked Buff now looks more like a Blonde to me, going by the color of the head stripes and how dark they are, and by the coloring coming in on the wings. Colors vary from bloodline to blood line, so not everybody's Buffs are identical shades, not everybody's Blondes are identical shades... and some fall in between colors.

Here's a pic of a lighter (typical/normal) marked/colored Buff keet of mine, and then a group pic of a Pied Blonde on the left (it has extra dark head markings tho and some would even call that a Chocolate, but I don't lol), 3 darker marked/colored Buffs in the middle and 1 of my darker/redder Chocolates on the lower right.




The lighter keets in the group pic are a week younger than the Buff keet above it so they don't have much color to their feathers yet, but you can see the difference in the color of their head markings. Even tho they are dark they are still lighter than the stripes on your keet on the left, which is what's making me think Blonde on your keet now (even tho my Blonde has much darker head markings).

Try to post some more pics if you can, we'll figure it out eventually, lol.

Of the three light keets only 1 has any head markings. Here are a few more pics

Keet #1



Keet #2


Keet #3



I am sorry, I know my pics are not the best, I only have my Iphone pics.
Thanks for all the info, it will help me in the future for identifying other keets.

I am really new to Guineas. This is my first hatch.
I do have 8 Pearls that are about 4 months that I purchased from the feed store. They are a lot of fun to watch. I love how they always travel in a groups.

Keet #1 still looks like it has pretty dark head markings in that pic too, so I'm still going to guess Blonde on that one... probably a male, unless it's just a darker marked female Buff (see what I mean about in between colors?)... it will start buck-wheating at about 6 weeks old if it is a Hen.The 2 without head stripes look like pure White keets, which means the person you got the eggs from must have Pieds and/or pure Whites in the flock. Unless they have an off-white/cream tint to their body color never develop any pearling or baring on the wings, then they could be Ivory). White keets are pure clean white, with no coloring at all. You definitely didn't get any Chocolates tho

Sorry I can't be more definitive on the light keets for you, sometimes it's impossible for me to ID certain colors unless I'm looking right at them in person

Cute babies tho, they will be a pretty flock once they are all grown up! Post more pics of them as they mature if you can!

They don't have a pearl to them that I can tell. They look like more of a solid cream color than white. I will add more pics as they get older. I am happy with all the different colors.Thanks so much for all your help.
