They are good with hens but just pick on roosters. IN a way they help give the hens a break from a abusive rooster.

BUT is there any rooster that can at least hold his own? They are able to handle any of them soo easy.

The more fierce game breeds or oriental game. Are they able to at least hold their own?

Every situation is different. I raise my guineas separately from the chickens. Since they are not imprinted by chickens, they know that chickens are different from them. I can free range my guineas and chickens in the same area at the same time and neither will bother the others. The guineas keep to themselves and the chickens keep to themselves.

OH, my fighter breed Oriental Gamefowl would probably tear those guineas a new you know what. He's a Thai breed and vicious as they come when it comes to protecting himself or his flock (he's a gentleman to his lady hens though). So if you want a breed to stand up to these guineas, I would suggest you look into 'Oriental Gamefowl' chickens (Shamo, Asil, Thai, Malay, Ganoi, etc.).

Since guineas tend to attack from behind and often attack en masse, I believe you are greatly under estimating them.

No, you sir are underestimating the MIGHT of the fighter breed that is the Oriental Gamefowl! Fight til' there's nothing left with every ounce of their being, with a heart unmatched by any other chicken or animals for that matter........ never surrender, never say die, you've got the heart of a hero!! :p

Seriously though, guineas would be no match.

You just go ahead and believe whatever you want to believe.
 
I am confused by the op question.
if you have an abusive rooster, replace him or cull him. No guinea is going to be a peacemaker between hen and rooster.
My guineas dodge at and intimidate my chickens and each other ocasionally but rarely do i see any reaL harm done. My rooster compleatly ignores them and so they find him to boaring to mess with. One hen i call Crazy, will dodge and hide from the guineas when ever she sees them and because of her excited reactiocn they love to hastle her the most. My new additions, 6 isa browns did not know what guineas were and kind of rear up and look at them, kind of like saying (what are you and what is your problem?) The guineas just ignore them too, not exciting enough.
Just some observations of my flock dynamics.
i would never keep a abusive rooster, weather aggression to humans or my hens, no matter how beatiful he was. That is not in his job description.
 
Having had considerable problems with guinea on chicken/duck flock aggression, I have to agree with R2Elk here. I don’t know what your specific situation is, and I’m sure that the gamecock owner is correct that some individual roosters could stand up to an individual guinea. However, when my Guineas attacked the chickens or ducks, they didn’t fight fair. The 15 member guinea flock acted as a coordinated unit, like a wolf pack, to separate and overwhelm one animal from the duck or chicken flock. I couldn’t believe that a bird too stupid to fly back OVER the dog fence could coordinate so well in these vicious attacks. I think that Guineas that attack in a group, rather than one on one, are overwhelming. Preventing that mind set seems like the best approach. I had to rehome all but one Guinea male and now supervise (with a stick and water gun) all guinea interactions with the other poultry to prevent my last male from leading a pack attack.

You know i thought so as well until they beat the crap out of the shamo asil and malay roosters. So i decided to stick with just larger aggressive pheasants. The roosters arent fast enough to handle the guineas and the guineas always get them from behind. They never lose. they can even handle a angry muscovy drake and peafowl.

guineas do not fight fair the rooster will fight them but they are faster that is the problem and he will get worn down. Honestly i was like you because i raised a lot of fighting cocks before but good god was i shocked when the guineas came. I tried it now regret it. Think macaw they have a very very powerful beak maybe the most powerful in the world but they can be killed by ravens. It is just about speed and tactic. I gave it ago in the summer but ended up getting out of chickens.
