[duckduckgose]

well, a couple of years ago we had a small flock of 5 female guinea fowl and 3 males but then they bread and now we have about 20 and no clue what gender they are we are looking at moving soonish and would like to take 10 guineas with us (4 boys and 6 girls) and the one we thought was a boy died of presumably natural causes yesterday.

The only way that I know to sex Guinea Fowl is by voice sexing. Females have a two syllable 'buck wheat' call whereas males have a multi syllable coarse scream.

Look at their horns. Some are smaller and others are bigger. The bigger horned ones are most likely males and the smaller horned ones are most likely females from my experience. Hope this helps!
