Pheasant Tail Feathers

Need help identifying a bird ( game bird??)?
My son bought me this “bantam chicken” just after Mothers Day. This ‘thing’ is now a young adult, but ‘it’ isn’t no chicken. It has blue eyes, spotted feathers. It has a small waddle growing out of each side of its face and what I call a ‘horn’ on its head, a bump that is hard. It makes this very loud and very annoying squawk. I thought maybe it was a pheasant, but the tail feathers aren’t right. I would just like to know what this “thing” is and if will it stay around the yard with the ducks and other chickens or is it going to fly away?
Sounds like a guinea. Here’s what a guinea looks like, so you’ve some comparison:

A guinea isn’t exactly the most graceful flier, no more of a flier than a chicken and they don’t migrate in the winter so unlikely it’ll fly away during migration season. They are just another type of farm bird, very similar to a chicken in many senses, except for their sounds and how they look.
