Guinea Fowl & Ducks

[Bill83]

Does anyone here raise Guineas with Ducks? I am very new to ducks but I actually wanted to get Guineas prior to the ducks and was curious of how they interact together.

My Pal says they don't get along? I'm not sure?

I heard the guineas can be real assholes which is why i ask. Somethings i read say they are great and other things i read say they are a nightmare.

They are loud and a bit aggressive I'm told too.

I used to have guineas and ducks together without issue. I don't keep guineas any more, but when I did, they never bothered the ducks. They were dominant over the chickens and occasionally would gang up on a rooster, if I had only one, but they never bothered the ducks at all.

I'd still have a plan to split them up in case it becomes necessary, though. Better safe than sorry.

At one point I had ducks, peafowl, guineas, chickens (both bantam and standard breeds) and a few turkeys. I never had a problem with the guineas picking on any of the other birds. The would roost together at night and go their separate ways during the day. So I would say it would depend on your set up and the amount of space you have?
