Do Guniea Fowl have Albino variant?
If so what are the major characteristics?
What percentage of Guinea Fowl maybe Albino?
Are there pictures available?

I have seen albino and leucistic Guineafowl in East Africa. Basically the albino were white with buffy/off-white/pinkish coloured bare parts and typical albino red irises. The leucistic (more common than albino) Guineafowl have been a washed out blue/brown colour - looked a bit as though they'd been dunked in bleach.

Don't know about percentages and I don't have any pictures.

Thank you. This guinea is not pure white. The colour is a buff type. I suspect that it has poor vision.

Probably a domestic farm breed, a bit like white chickens or white ducks. I've seen white domestic Guinea Fowl before. Not necessarily a true albino.
