I think that I am going to sell 1 male and keep a trio, that is ok too right, how many hens can this male have?
or would it be better to leave them as pairs?

I had one male with 5 females and he seemed like a pretty happy guy. The girls run the roost and would constantly be calling him if he dared wander away. When he died the girls just seemed to fade away. I lost them all in the space of a couple of months. Saddest thing. They would call and call and call day and night it seemed. When I lost all but one female I got her another boy, but she didn't care.

She actually jumped in the dogs pen and died. She had never gone near there before so it was weird.

We had one that was a pet and would roar around our property in the passenger seat of my sons go-cart. He would chase our truck down the drive cause I used to take him to town with me. He would ride on the arm rest. ( yeah I am crazy)

They are so much fun if you can stand the noise.

Better than a dog for letting you know someone is at your door.

Are you going to let them free range or keep them penned? If you are going to keep them penned the yes the one male will be fine, if not I would keep both males. We used to have a large flock of guineas with way more males than I needed. I found that they would pair off when they were nesting. The extra males would help "keep watch" of the females and would alarm her when predators were near. To be sure you have a female listen for their distinctive call some say it sounds like buck-wheat-buck-wheat. I call it the Pe-track call. It is very hard to describe, but once you hear it you will know. They look like pearls with white flight feathers, which mean they may have some white in their backgrounds. You may get some pied or even white keets if you decide to hatch their eggs. Hope this helps!

Yep, I'd also say female, male, female, male.
