Does this really need a separate article? It seemed more at home as a section on Guineafowl. GeeJo (t)⁄(c) • 06:51, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- The content was heavily repeated at Helmeted Guineafowl. If you look at talk:guineafowl you will see that there is a lot of history to this surprisingly contentious article, and this was agreed as the best solution. jimfbleak 07:03, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Fair enough, I was just concerned as it dramatically shortens the Guineafowl article, which didn't seem long enough to merit a split on that criterion. GeeJo (t)⁄(c) • 07:06, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Don't worry, there is enough information available on guineafowl, so in the end the articles will grow. I plan to contribute a large part, I only need to find some time.eboy 09:34, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

- The GFBA.org also concurs that a seperate heading for "domesticated guinefowl" may be appropriate. There is a tremendous undercurrent in the poultry research community to further the research of the species for more agressive domestication for purposes of food production. There is also a tremendously large group of individuals who are very eccentric about these most endearing wild creatures. The guineafowl characteristics and adaptabilties make it most well suited for many backyard poultry enthusiasts....like myself! Where possible the GFBA will make meaningful contributions both here and upon the lead articles as needed. Hopefully our contributions will be simultaneously material and educational. Kudos to JimfBleak for his efforts and to Eboy for similar efforts and ideas. Also did you know that the feathers of guineafowl are highly sought after by flyfishermen for tying flies??
