I'm planning on adding a few chicken hens to my small flock of Guineas. Are there any you recommend that might get along best with my guineas? I'm not looking to breed, just have some eggs, and help keep my guineas tame enough to return to their coop at night. I'm looking at Barred Rock,Ameraucana Easter Eggers, and Speckled Sussex but want to hear from more experienced Guinea owners than myself first.
 
Any of those would be fine. I keep barred rocks and EE's with my guineas with no issues. In fact, all my guineas are males, and they have a crush on my barred rock hen. They follow her everywhere and protect her. I keep a ton of other breeds with them with no problems either. Really the only thing you might not want to keep with them would be a bantam breed they could accidentally hurt seriously if things got rowdy. Otherwise, most chicken breeds work fine in my experience.
