guinea hens?

[little blue]

are there boy guinea hens or are they all hens there must be boys so they can have babies what are the boys called we have three guinea hens and they have a cool looking body with the patterns

 

[Finn's Mom]

Until recently, I always called them guinea hens the way we called pea fowl " peacocks," but in fact they are guinea fowl and pea fowl, and then guinea hens, etc!

The hens are the females and the cocks are the males. Though many do it, it is improper to call both sexes "guinea hens". Guineas are cool birds.
