Guineas... Name ideas?

[speckledhen]

I had four guineas, two males and two females. The boys were Radar and Dodger and the girls were Charlotte and Mousse (she was huge, so we thought she was a French guinea in the wrong bin, hence the French name).

Buckwheat, Alfalfa, Calliope, Pearl. I like Spot too.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions!

I think Spot & Speck win

How do you know which one is the boy and which one is the girl? I have 5 and really can not tell. I know you can tell by the noise they make. But when I makes a noise they all do and I am really having a difficult time.

Can you tell by looking at their heads?

You can,but it is pretty difficult. The hens make the two part, 'buckwheat' sound, that's the way I tell

Yes, I have been told that the males will have larger, more defined and curled forward 'lips' (they will poof up when they make a noise), while the females have them to the side and smaller.

In the image the female is in the front, the male in the back.

Cheers,

Tom

I'd call the one on the left 'Headhunter' and the one on the right 'PNG' or 'Liverlips'

Try salt and pepper

Our 2 guineas are so funny, they follow our turkeys everywhere. It's like they are the turkeys body guards.

I got so tickled the other day while watching them when my DH said they looked the DOO DOO birds off of Ice Age.

I can see themnow running to the garden yelling "It's the last melon"
