The Pearl is the most common color pattern of guinea. They are dark gray with white dots (pearls) on their feathers. Their heads are featherless and have a bright red crest and wattles.

Guineas can be a great addition to your flock for several reasons. They eat lots of insects, especially devouring ticks. Guineas are also excellent alarms and can help protect your flock from daytime predators.
