When I was researching this issue I found a thread on BYC that said when you look at the guinea (eyeball to eyeball) the female will turn her head and look at you. The male will look straight at you. And the buckwheat chatter for the female. I found it to be true with my 10 original guineas. I...
I have 17 babies and some are pipping. But this is some pics. Not real good. I don't take many and the babies didn't want to be bothered. They kept running from me. LOL!!
