Guinea and quail.

I now make my guinea fowl roost in the trees outside the coop.. they are getting too aggressive with my chickens and pigeons too.

When they are free ranging together its fine. Its when they are in the coop together the guineas will attack any white birds.. chickens or pigeons.... they started only charging at them, but over this week its got worse and they will sneak up on them when they are eating and grab them.. pulling out feathers.

Ooh that doesn't sound good.
 
Yeah when I had chickens they were in a separate coop than the guineas. During the night the guineas will attack anything, even one another. Perhaps they see the white hens better in the dark and thats why they attack them. Personally, I wouldnt keep guineas with chickens. They act nicer around peafowl and turkeys.
