Is their any way to tell the difference between female and male keets? I can tell the difference on adults but Im wondering in case I'd like to order some in the future. And if I did end up with more than 1 male would it be a problem like it is with too many roosters?

Thanks for any feedback

Most places won't sex keets. I think it's real hard.

I don't think that extra males is a problem with guineas the way it is with chickens.

I bought 7 straight run guineas from a lady. I never understood why I could not tell the males from the females. It turns out they were all males.

I've never found any place that has sexed keets. I had more males than females for a few years and it wasn't a problem. They did like to be in pairs, so I just made sure to keep the numbers even. Bert & Ernie are still buddies even though I now have females!
