Guineas, no harem?

[Kentucky heat]

New to guinea fowl. I have 5 hens and 1 fella. Will he service the flock or just one hen?

It depends on your individual male guinea. Some male guineas are more than happy to service all the hens and others are not so willing. Guineas do best in pairs or with a slightly higher amount of hens than cocks.
