It is difficult to be absolutely sure if your guineafowl is a hen or a cock, but there are subtle differences. (with guineafowl the male is a cock and not a rooster)

• helmet: Cock is triangular-shaped, elongated and broader at the base. Hen has pointed helmet that is smaller than the cock's.
• wattles: Cock's are rounded; whereas, hen's are flat.
• carriage: Cock walks upright; whereas, hen walks crouched.

Answer 3

There are a few differences between a rooster and a hen. To identify a rooster, the rooster will crow at sunrise but not a hen. A rooster has a Blade on the top of the head that is larger and brighter in color. A hen has a smaller comb on the time. The length and placement of feathers are usually longer and fuller on a hen.
