Can Guineas Mate With Chickens!!!!?

[Chiko]

I have 2 male guineas in my pen with my chickens and the guineas are starting to mate with my chickens succesfully

Will it create a cross between a chicken and a guinea?

This link says it's possible.

While rare, it is possible although the offspring usually don't live a long time. There is a thread on here of a cross named Miracle...

I read that same post, I know my guineas have never attempted to to mate with the chicken flock.

If I get any guineas, and a male tries to mate with one of my hens, Sally the Speckled Sussex will kick his hiney!!! She's in charge of the flock, now. We had to get rid of our roos.

Neighbors put up with them for OVER A YEAR and then FINALLY said they were driving them crazy and they had to go. Of course they told us this the day after Thanksgiving, and we had to worry about finding them a home over the holidays. Not fun.

But we did find a home, they are happy!

yes it can happen I have one now her name is Gretchen. She is about 8 months old now. Her daddy is a Orpington and mom is a Guinea. Chicken and Guinea are not together anymore. When she hatched she was black I know something was wrong. She sound just like a baby chick. When people tour my coop the are always look for the baby chicks but it is only her.

Yep, guinea fowl can mate with chicken. The outcome is an ugly mut chicken.
