Do Guineas and Pigeons get along?

[ThePigeonKid]

Can guineas live in the same building with pigeons? I have an 8’x10’ pigeon loft, and was wondering if my guineas would get along with pigeons.

Do not know about pigeons, but mine hate doves. Whenever they land in the yard all the guineas fly over and chase them away

They love hanging out with the ducks and follow them around all day.

Mine hang with my ducks and chickensand believe it or not my Chukar. The funny thing is that my Chukar free range with the Guinea and all return every night.

Pigeons usually stay up off the floor, guineas only roost when they are sleeping. I think they'd be fine, but you'd probably want to put feed for the pigeons up high where the guineas are not likely to get it, otherwise they will bully the pigeons away from the feed. I have pigeons, guineas, ducks, geese, and chickens that all free range together, the pigeons are always getting bullied away from the feed by someone, but otherwise they are pretty much ignored.

Thanks for the help!

I see this is an old post but I have 5 young Guineas temporarily with my young Homing Pigeons & they get along great! At one point they were the same size & even snuggled together to go to sleep. Now the Guineas are larger, the Pigeons fly in & out if the Pigeon loft & they go inside to sleep, & the Guineas go inside their modified rabbit hutch, but all still hang out during the day, up on the perch, or sometimes a few Pigeons will hunker down & snuggle with them inside the rabbit hutch...they nap together & preen eachother, pretty cool. I guess they may always remember eachother & consider eachother friends, which is fine. I'm very fortunate to have all of my flock members, including chickens & roosters, all congenial & living in harmony. Of course everyone does still have their own space if they want to left alone. The plan is to give Guineas their own space, but for now, all is well. The Guineas are much calmer than my friend's Guineas...safe from predators, but the Pigeons may have a calming effect.
