Any suggestions?

My little guinea fowl is about 2 months old, and I was wondering if there is any way to be able to tell the gender? Any suggestions help

Catch it, put it in a cage or crate out of site but within earshot of the other birds in it's flock (if there are any... if not put it in a cage/crate in an area it is not used to and make sure to stay out of it's site).. then sit back and listen for it to make a 2 syllable buck-wheat call. Young Hens will usually start calling out right away. Only Hens make that call, never the males. If after 20-25 minutes it's just peeping the little baby distressed peep/cry... it may be too soon for it to buck-wheat, or it may be a male... and I'd try separating it and listening for the 2 syllable call again in a couple more weeks.
