Do guinea pigs and chickens get along well?

I tried searching for this, but all I got was hot after hit from a member with guinea pigs in her sig line.

I am building a big secure run for my chickens and it'd be nice if my 2 guinea pigs can get in on all that comfort. Would the hens (EE's) maul the little rodents?

I have a guinea pig but she only goes out with the chickens under a clothes basket (to protect from chickens and hawks!). I assume the chickens would bother her since they are pretty nosy and kind of mean (they killed a poor innocent toad for no reason at all). You may want to do some supervised introductions!

Well, the chicks haven't arrived yet, so they would be growing up in the company pf the GP's. That would help, maybe.

I would fear for the guinea pig's life. Chickens are surprisingly predatory and bloodthirsty.
