I have 2 guineas and I can't tell if there male or female

[MeepBeep]

We are almost reaching early summer months now...i would not say they are laying because what i know is guineas first chase each other > pair up > then lay eggs. How does it happen if the is only one male ( no other males to be chased? ) because as the season of spring progress guineas do their thing. It is often easy to tell that birds are laying if the are too many male and females ( that will pair up ) but how to tell if the hens are laying?? because as i said their bond is still ( unstable )

For captive birds if there is only one male the foreplay isn't as necessary to establish himself, they might just cut to the chase... It's also not uncommon for captive Guineas to form family trios (one male, two females) even though they are generally monogamous... And last but certainly not least, Guineas will seasonally lay eggs even if there is no male or fertilization to be found...

Thanks for helping. The one thing annoying about them is that the can fly and it's hard to keep track of everything.
