AUSTRALIAN POULTRY FORUM™

I was reading on a foreign web site I think and stumbled on a woman talking about a 'solid neck pattern' guinea fowl and she was asking if if the chicks would be split to the solid neck pattern and I was totally confused as I have never hear of a guinea fowl colour called that. I have looked it up and no mention anywhere except on that foreign site. Now I looked at the picture and the fowl looks exactly the same as the 36 I have out side running around? especially the pieds that have the purple neck colour but thats not a colour is it?

Welcome to the forum

I have never heard of a solid neck pattern colour.
Maybe one of the more expierianced breeders like Ace might know more.

Oh dear you really have stumbled onto the wrong site there not laughing at you just the thought of where you read that always makes us laugh. Ok there is no such colour or terminology or genetic significance with the neck colour on guinea fowl. More than half of Australias pied guinea fowl and split pied have the purple hue neck colouring now that's like 10's of thousands of them and not just in Australia. What happens is when someone has no understanding or knowledge of something in this case guinea fowls they simply make it up now they also have no understanding of genetics which I guess is obvious as this neck colour has absolutely no affect on the keets colour nor is it a gene to have a "split" why because its wild type + pied this mean its the wild type colour + pied of ours and many other places guinea fowl. The breeders of guinea fowl (real ones) call these Pearl Pied or Pearl split to pied meaning they are carrying the gene hidden.

So to conclude NO such guinea fowl as a "solid neck pattern" nor is there Penguin keets or teddy bear keets all from the same book of stupidity

she's at it again can the split solid neck pattern be split emu to and split fallow budgie just a clown with not a clue and no life TheGuineaGang just ignore that total diarrhea and lets hope it wipes its chin or the flies will come

Its all just stupid and I see rollgoogle been wearing out google search with a lot of rubbish and dribble she needs to take up the barbies again you can only hope she gets a life some day and give google a rest. In the mean time us adult breeders will get on with breeding guinea fowl

Put me down for 50 pairs of the "solid neck pattern" I can breed them to my red tailed black guinea fowls and then to my sulpha crested guinea fowl and get keets that a 9 way splits That has to top the most stupid thing I have read on that forum and that is really saying something. How old is she 10?

I have been told 16 google years I wonder if the keets have duel racing head striping, then they could almost pass for a drag racer

They make it too easy she must be up for googler of the year soon

You would think so as every piece of info she posts under god knows how many different names these days comes from there

Funny how some people make up that sort of stuff but the funny part is we know it bull so who are they fooling? not anyone that knows guinea fowls
