The Guinea fowl belong to the Numida family – they are related to pheasants, turkeys and other game fowl. There is some evidence to suggest that Guinea fowl were known as far back as ancient Greece around the 5th century BC. The Romans brought them back from their African campaigns and tried to domesticate them. They were semi-successful in this venture, raising them on farms. Romans were able to raise them but never really tame them. The home of the Guinea fowl is Africa where they run wild in large flocks. Some were taken to Jamaica about 200 years ago, during the slave trading era and they became part of the landscape. To this day you can find Guineas running wild in Jamaica! Guineas were first introduced to Europe back in the 1400s and made their way to America with the early settlers and slaver ships.
