    Guinea HEN or Guinea COCK?

    We dont know what breed of guineafowl we have so google images was no help. As far as noise it sounds more trumpet like than a male but it does the drill sounding noise that males make. So posting here in the hopes that you guys and gals might be able to tell.

    She was egg bound. We put her in the tub filled with warm water and fed her one yogurt and seed coveted tums and less than two hours later she passed 2 eggs. She is doing much better now. And she never had any problems previously.
