LOLOL... I hear ya. So far I have 64 confirmed Hens (combined total, in all of my flocks) as of today. (I catch and band a few each day). But that's not counting all of the 3-4 month old pullets I am selling or the 6-8 week olds that are starting to chime in. At least they sort of get a harmony/rhythm going...

Hens are good tho, they PRODUCE for ya. If you had all males you'd probably be havin' Chocolate Guinea stew quite often this spring, lol.

There are a couple of different ways to tell:

First, their sounds are different, Boys say "chi chi chi" a one syllable sound. Girls say "buck wheat buck wheat" a two syllable sound.

Second, the way they look, the Boys wattle will be more like if your hand was cupped, the Girls wattle will be more flat and smaller.
