Flock is bigger than space allows!

Since our coop is busting at the seems, I've come up with an idea. I'm thinking of moving our 3 oldest hens(one still lays occasionally) and our egg eater in with the guinea fowl. Hmmm. Not sure how smoothly that would go, but it would be considered our retirement community. Has anyone done anything like this before?

The guineas that I (used to) own would gang up on my chickens and pin one down and rip out feathers, it would usually be like 6 vs 1
The only way I would raise guineas again is to keep them in separate coops to keep the peace.

I have 5 guineas and would be moving 4 hens in with them. They free range together with no problems.
