In the hope of developing a relatively simple, nondestructive
way of sexing adult helmeted guineafowl
(Numida meleagris ), sexual differences in body
mass and in the size of head adornments of adult
helmeted guineafowl sampled during the winter
months in the Riemland district of the northeastern
Free State, South Africa, were investigated. Males
have statistically significantly larger values for all
attributes than do females. However, no single
attribute, nor a combination of them, can be used to
sex guineafowl unambiguously.
