>Here they kept in hen yards of cloisters since 13th century. But peasant-farmers only keep them since the late 19th so they weren't a widespread staple food ofc.

Guineafowls exist here in farms from 18th century (as wiki says, it was used first as decorative bird in royal zoos, so it is called "cesarka" from "tsar"), and now there even local breeds of them and meat production. I've hear about them sometimes and know that this bird exists, but their meat are rare and sold as high-priced product.

So I guess it is relatively unknown for general population.
