My guinea keets are at just over 5 weeks of age and there is an obvious size difference between some of them. There is only 1 pearl in the mix and it's smaller so I know were not looking at any jumbos. Would larger size indicate a male over a female or vice versa?

Just wanted to post to let everyone know what great eggs I received from Kritter11! She sold me 26 eggs and last night I candled them and only 5 were clear! so I have 21 out of the 26 eggs, fertile & growing! I'll be candling my second set of 19 eggs from Neilb on Sat.
