The rooster is with someone else hes not abusive but just a typical rooster. He never hurt the hens but would try to get them into breeding mode. Anyways hes gone so are the chickens. For some reason silvers make good penn mates with guineas. They are just as fast if not faster.

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.

All the roosters will stand up but its the manner of fighting and speed and of course not playing fair. Me too it came as a huge shock to me. But suprise that they cannot do this with fast aggresive species like silvers or egyptian geese. I only have a bonded mated pair of them as well. Even small amount could over come my most powerful fighting cock. They also seem much thicker skinned and durable than roosters. They come from africa and have to deal with everything non stop. Their physiology must have evolved and adapted making them very durable. Breeding may have tamed them down a bit softened them up.

This is part of your problem. Guineas are a flock bird. They need more of their own kind so that they can take out their aggression on each other. This works because guineas understand each other. Chickens cannot understand guineas and their behavior.

i wasnt planning on them because they are too loud and i would get in trouble but these kind (french?? ) arent loud at all. Usually not aggressive its just the roosters like to be top dog. The guineas are really tight with each other act like pigeons no aggression anything. We have had groups of them at my parents lake but in a group they got worse they would pull the peafowls tail out.
