Nice coop you have. I will try to get some pics of mine tomorrow. nothing special. I also wanted to know if mine are male or female. so I will get some pics of them too. I read somewhere on BYC that you can tell by their Wattles.

The male has a larger waddle than the hen also when they get to be about 2 mo old the hen will make a sound like buck-wheat the male just screeches!

Very nice looking guineas you two.

Thanks for the pics and the info. I think I have only one female and the other 3 are males. is the buck-wheat sound very faint. I noticed one was doing it today, but it was hard to hear, plus she had a mouth full of fresh grass.

When the hens first start out it is sort hard to hear but in about 2 weeds there is no doubt!

These are the best pics I could get for today. The more I listen, the more I think I can hear Buck-Wheat. I just dont know how many or which ones.

How old are they? They look close to the same age as mine. I don't see my guineas all day, but then at night they come back to roost.
