Hello guys. I would really appreciate if you could tell me what this is.
This is not really a chicken... i know that. But what is it called? I was gifted eggs of this from someone and they hatched around 5 months ago. If i know what they are called, i would be able to search about them properly :D They have lived within a chicken coup happily ever since there first 6 weeks with their mother. (Also a chicken hen who hatched them).

I am talking about the 3 silver birds in the picture(s). With the thin necks and fat tummies. Hehe.

Domestic guineafowl, sometimes called pintades or gleanies, are poultry originating from Africa. They are the domesticated form of the helmeted guineafowl and are related to other game birds such as the pheasants, turkeys and partridges. Wikipedia

Haha YES! they make lots of noise.. i have some videos...
 
Females have a 2 syllable call...'come back, come back' while males have a 1 syllable.
Hmm... i hear the 1 syallable noise a lot.
The female one too i have heard a little bit. Just found in a youtube video the voices. I get the feeling that at 1 is female and 2 are male. Since i have heard both sounds... but that female one quite less...
