There is someone here on BYC that had a photo of a guinnea-chicken cross so I guess it can happen.

How funny!
I had a Turkey who thought it was a lap dog! lol
I haven't introduced Guinea to my chicken flock yet, I rescued it from being tormented by a dog. Its in a 10x10 coop next to regular coop so they can see each other. I hope it will get along with everyone. I think its a year old, no clue if its girl or boy. Does it really take 6 to 8 weeks to let guinea know this is its new home before I let it free range?

They'll mate but probably 9 times out of 10 it leads to nothing. Every so often someone gets a hybrid of the 2 but there are many people who have run chickens and guineas together for years and never seen any offspring from it.
here is a link to the story of Miracle, a guinea/chicken cross- there is also a website that discusses it- not sure of that link

yes, you need to keep him confined so he know where home is, he really needs another guinea to pal around with though

Some of my roosters have mated with my guineas, i have a white keet that just hatched and i am pretty sure my white rock roo is the daddy, i am waiting till it gets a bit bigger to make sure.
Some roosters will try to mate with anything, i had one that would try to mate with my lab,a flip flop,the dogs bed,and even the red coffee can i used for scooping up scratch.

I have a guinea that showed up one day and has never left. I have several roosters that run free out side my pin and their is only one that the guinea will not chase. Not sure if the guinea is a male or female but my big white rooster seems to think it is a female
