My guineas are 8 weeks old and living outside in a little pen and I’m wondering if I can put them with chickens. I have seven adult hens and one adult rooster along with ten 11 week old pullets and two 11 week old cockerels. They are extremely welcoming and love new members, I just put 9 new 11 week olds in and my hens and 3 chicks welcomed them and had no problems. I’ve heard not to raise guineas with chickens because they will kill your roosters so I’m asking experts.

Guineas will harass chickens if they are together but I've had guineas and chickens living together for 13 years and have never had the guineas kill a rooster or any other chicken. Guineas will be very bossy and pull out feathers from chickens occasionally. The only animal I have had the guineas try to kill is another male guinea. :old
