Can a Guinea roo fertilize Chicken eggs?

[itsazoo]

Is it true that the only way a guinea cock can breed a chicken is through artificial insemination?

See, I want to get ONE guinea keet now to act as the security alarm for my chicks when they're old enough to free range. I got only pullets because I don't want more chicks now. I'm worried if that Guinea turns out to be a roo that I run the chance of getting guinea/chicken crosses.

Thoughts?

My neighbor has a black sumatra and pearl guinea cross. Nice looking bird you can clearly characteristics of both breeds in the offspring.

Cool, but was the Guinea the mother or the father?

The guinea was the hen.

It`s true. Guineas will cross with chickens, male or female. The offspring is sterile. Why does it matter, just collect all the eggs, if you don`t want chicks.......Pop
