How to distinguish between male and female guinea fowl

Head: Cockerels have a distinctive "V" shaped crown with a bulbous bundle of black and white floral feathers on the back side, and large bright red meat drops on both sides of the chin, whereas females generally have only a feathered crown on top of the head.

Plumage: Female chicks are generally fast-growing (the primary wing feathers are significantly longer than the overlying primary wing feathers), while male chicks are generally slow-growing.

Weight: As adults, male chicks weigh about 1.5-1.8kg, while female chicks weigh about 1.25kg.

I. Head

The Guineafowl cockerel has a distinctive ?V-shaped fleshy, angular coronal crown on top of its head (the crown is a bean crown, with bowl-shaped, well-developed fleshy bodies on either side of the crown), and the back side has a bulbous black and white lamellar bundle of feathers. The black-and-white lacy feather bundles are shaped like a dome, along with a large, bright-red fleshy drop on either side of the chin, while the hen's head is generally only crowned with feathers.

Feathers

In the case of fast-growing plumage (the primary wing feathers are significantly longer than the overlying primary wing feathers), it is usually the female chick. If it is a slow-born feather type (the main wing feathers are as long as the overlying main wing feathers, or the overlying main wing feathers are longer than the main wing feathers), it is usually a male chick.

Three, body weight

As an adult, the male chick weighs about 1.5-1.8kg, while the female chick weighs about 1.25kg.

Four, anus

Twelve hours after the chicks come out of the shell, the anus is removed. Around 12 hours after the chicks come out of the shell, turn the anus of the chicks, if there is a clear reproductive protrusion, it is usually male chicks, and vice versa for female chicks.
