Males are called ''guineacocks'', females ''guineahens''; their chicks are called ''keets''.
  
'''Guineafowls''' are small domestic poultry commonly available to dwarven civilizations. Male guineafowl are called '''guineacocks''', females '''guineahens'''; their chicks are called '''keets'''.
+
Some dwarves like guineafowl "for their social nature".
  
Being roughly half the size of a common [[chicken]], guineafowl are at the lower limit of [[butcher]]able creatures. About half of the fully-grown animals will only produce a skull when slaughtered, no meat, fat or skin. While guineafowl are more useful for [[egg production]] than butchery, other, larger poultry also produce more [[egg]]s.

Note: guineafowl are at the lower limit of butcherable creatures. About half of the fully grown animals will only produce a skull when slaughtered, no meat, fat or skin.
