Male/female guinea fowl ratio

[cference]

I recently found out we have 6 male and only 1 female guinea, is this a big problem?

Yes, when Spring hits and those boys start feeling frisky your poor hen will be in trouble. And there will likely be lots of fighting. You'll need to get a bunch more hens or rehome or butcher those extra cocks. Good luck.

It could be, my guineas do fine paired up but that many boys vying for one girls attention doesn't sound healthy for her or the competing males
