Vulturine

[Khalid al Awadhi]

Hi
I have a pair of vulturine sine 3 years now but until now they have not laid eggs.
And I don't know which one is male or female
How can I differentiate between then ?

Thanks for help

beautiful. How very lucky you are. Have you noticed anything different in their call ? Sexing guineas is not easy to do by looking at the birds, although in older adults the helmet and wattles of the males are usually larger. The easiest way to sex them is by voice. Both males and females make a single syllable, machine-gunlike alarm call, but only the females have a two syllable call. It sounds like they're saying "buck-wheat."

says females are smaller

Very beautiful birds, but 3 years and no egg? Hope one of them is a female.
I was researching this, and the only visual difference seems to be the size, females are slightly smaller. Other than that they look the same. (Except when the females lay an egg!) I also read that the males can be more aggressive.

Welcome to BYC! Those are beautiful birds with an unfortunate name! I have never seen them before. Gorgeous, just gorgeous!! I hope you can figure out who is who but I cannot help you.

Very true. I leave the door open, the chickens come in!
And they are always on my mind!
