Its a little early to tell. Guinea males are hard to tell apart from females.

They are very cute!

These are Purple Peachicks not guineas...

Also in person one already has much more barring than the other... Of the pics above the top pic has the one with more barring on the left and the second pic has that chick on the right that has more barring and oddly enough that one also has more crest feathers than the other chick plus and is a bit larger but not by much...??? Hoping I have a pair!!

Blush. That's my bad.

I've never kept either. Sorry I can't be more of a help.

This is a wild guess, but the one with less barring look female.

Disclaimer:
Have mostly IB and have never seen a purple in person.

 

[casportpony]

This is my guess:


Is that what you were thinking?

-Kathy

 

[critters]

Yes Kathy it is.... Due to more barring so far mostly but all the other things made me think maybe I have a pair as well! That would be great if I did!!

 

[AugeredIn]

I would guess pair but to early to be absolutely certain.

Do yall think that in the Peachicks, a general rule of thumb would be that the Peachicks of same age and color, that the one with more barring 'could be' male and the other female then?? At about what age can I hope to know their sex ??? I have 2 Cameos, 2 Purple and 2 India Blues... I think both Blues are female since they both look alike and Kathy and I believe one of them to be female and the other Blue is about four days younger but is feathered up just like the older one...
