I think i have 3 males and 1 female.

See, my understanding is the wattles really depend on the genetic background of the bird. So, unless they come from the same stock, you can't tell by wattles. As I said, our dominant almost three-year-old male has no wattles to speak of. Less than the female pic above. Amongst our younger guineas it ranges and falls closer to the 'typical' male/female lines, but I would go by sound over looks every time. But, maybe that's just me?

No, you are exactly right. Like I said in my previous post, you can not just go by wattle because it is not 100% but it does often help. Also, you will see a difference in the shapes of their body. The males will have rounder bodies and stand taller; while females have flatter back and what is called a bustle. And if you look at peepsquad's second picture, you will see the back side of the White guinea that she thinks is a female. That one has a flatter back and what looks to be a small bustle.
But like you said the only way to tell for sure is by their call.

Sounds good and I'm glad we got that settled.

I like sorting by sound, but it can be tricky when they aren't making the noise. I once had to take the phone out to my flock and hold it up to the guineas so my sister could listen in and learn the difference in the call.

Glad my guineas were obliging and gave her a good sample!

You guys are great.
The one with the smallest wattle makes the same sound all the time (and I mean all the time), the other three can make two different sounds but are mostly quiet. I'm going to encourage my honey to continue with the plans to keep them and let them do their thing. The paintball field is right across the driveway from my house, maybe we wont even have to relocate them, they already like the front yard, maybe they will find it on their own. I just don't want the chickens to go with them. But I guess it wouldn't make a difference. They all come fluttering back when ever they hear us pull in no matter where they are. We left the guineas out one night, just to see, and when i checked at 2 am i found all 5. At 6 am, 1 was missing. no feathers, no mess, no parts. never found out, have not lost another one since. Now we put them in every night before we come in for the evening.
no matter why we got them, they are pets. we don't eat that many eggs. Pets and Entertainment. Never like to lose one.

So sorry to hear you lost one!

I think it's usually owls in the night, but of course I can't be sure. We put ours up with the chickens every night, but I would guess they are now ranging up to one hundred yards in a radius around the house and barn. I suspect they will go farther as they get bolder, but who know? I'm glad you think you'll be able to keep yours.

Always a nice feeling!
