Rural Gardening: How do you tell male from female Guinea Fowl?, 1 by beth_donovan

I have ten guineas. They are about 16 weeks old now, and they all look pretty much the same. I noticed that my white and light grey guineas are smaller in stature than the darker ones, but other than that - nothing.

I read somewhere that only females can make the buckwheat sound, and only males can make the warning sounds. I don't think that is true, for I hear both sounds from the same birds.

Thanks for any help!
