it is a domestication of a small fowl from africa called a guinea fowl,
first domesticated by the portugese and spread around their colonies. in
real life they have soft grey plumage and resemble a giant button quail
with the most godawful screech of a cry that would bend metal. i have
also been debating keeping them to drive certain neighbors nuts at dawn,
the fowl being significantly louder than a rooster. they also eat small
insects, andwould keep the tick population down, something the dogs and
sheep would like.
