<< 
 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.

Guinea fowl are domesticated fowl, they are not raised as fighters.
Gamecocks and Gamehens are any one of several breeds raised to fight.  
Apart form that, you gave a good description of Guineas.

Most fighting breeds have VERY colorful plumage.
