Oh ! Haha I was way off. How can you tell if these are a female or male?
You cannot sex guineas from photos. Female guineas make a two syllable "buckwheat" sound. Males do not make this sound. Females can make all the sounds the males can make.

You can hear guinea fowl in this thread.

Let' see and hear your guineas.

That would indicate that it is a hen.

Guineas are a flock bird. I recommend that you try to find the owners and if that doesn't work out, rehome it to somewhere that has a flock of guineas.
