Guinea Fowl or guinea hen is an intriguing poultry breed, at times called "original fowl", also "pet speckled hen". The French call it pintada and tagged as the "Sunday bird" being popular in their cuisine.

It is originally a game bird, independent, unsocial, and never truly one to be domesticated. These days it can be dosmeticated and is sought after for their meat that has become a delicacy.

It has leaner and darker meat than chicken but the breast meat is white. It is flavorful with a taste that is a cross between chicken and pheasant - richer than chicken, slightly gamey tasting that is pleasant, delicate and milder than pheasant.
