The adult guinea male is called a cock. He makes a one-syllable sound when alerted by anything unusual. He is also recognized (as the adult pictured) by having larger wattles than the female, and a somewhat larger helmet. He makes a ONE-syllable sound only: "CHI-CHi-Chi-chi...".

The adult female is called the guinea hen. She makes a two-syllable sound commonly: "buck-wheat,buck-wheat". She can immitate the sound of the cock.

As keets, determining the sex is nearly impossible, until they discover their voices at about 8 weeks of age. The size of the wattles on keets will be the nearly the same until they are a few months old when the wattles of the male begin to develop. (Vent sexing keets is difficult.)

Although wattle size and some actions may suggest the sex of a adult guinea fowl, sound is the sure way to determine the sex (as is vent sexing older guineas).

How do you answer a noise complaint letter?

If you get a noise complaint letter then it is best that you stop what ever is making the excessive noise. If the noise is violating the noise pollution law, then you have to stop asap before the police get involved and you get fined. If it is not breaking the law but it is annoying the community then it is best to stop anyway or you will end up with other issues such as neighbors damaging your property when you are not at home.

Why is my chirping smoke detector making noise and how can I stop it?

Your chirping smoke detector is likely making noise because its battery is low or needs to be replaced. To stop the chirping noise, you can try replacing the battery with a new one.
