All breeds- White-breasted Guineafowl, Black Guineafowl, Helmeted Guineafowl, Plumed Guineafowl, Kenya Crested Guineafowl, Crested Guineafowl, Vulturine Guineafowl.
Helmeted Guineafowl was created in 1758.
Black, white-breasted, plumed, and crested guineafowl feed on a range of plants and small invertebrates obtained by scratching in the leaf litter. Crested guineafowl may also feed in trees on berries and other fruits, and on bulbs from below the ground. Vulturine guineafowl also feed on a range of plant and animal items and will sometimes perch in bushes to feed on fruits. Unlike all other guineafowl, this species appears to survive without readily-available drinking water. Helmeted guineafowl are the most omnivorous of the guineafowl species, taking a broad range of plant and animal material (even small toads) from above and below the ground, switching their preferences to whatever appears to be abundant at the time, but focusing on insects and other arthropods during the breeding season.
3???? I would have said duck, goose, chicken, turkey and guineafowl....
Gazelle and small antelope are their main prey but they'll also take young wildebeest, young zebra, guineafowl, hares, etc.
The bird was named for the country. The turkey bird was mistakenly identified as a guineafowl when the British settlers arrived. Since guineafowl were from Turkey, the bird was named a turkey. Similar with other things that were misidentified and mislabeled (like Native Americans being called "Indians"), the title of turkey stuck for the animal, even though it has nothing to do with Turkey at all.

Guineafowl can be very territorial. If they do not have enough room, or if they just like the same spot the rooster likes, it could lead to trouble.
Cook guinea eggs just as you would chicken eggs. Just use more of them as they are smaller. Soft boiled is especially good.... also the whites from guinea eggs are excellent for baking
No, ducks belong (with geese and swans) in the Order Anseriformes. Francolins, spurfowl, guineafowl, pheasants and peafowl, among others, are the Galliformes.
Impalas, gazelles, the calves of wildebeest and zebra, even hares and large birds.
It would actually be called a guinea hen. Guineafowl are large black and white striped birds from Africa. They are often kept on farms, because they are aggressive towards predators. They also eat a lot of insects and lay eggs. They are known for being quite noisy.
