Hello. So, as I have a one muscovy pair, and drake has attempted to mate chickens, and drakes are higher in chiearhy than chickens, same as guinea are higher than, so, what can happen there?

P.S, im looking to replace those ducks, cause they just make all waterers dirty and in winter they make too much moisture.
Guess two Guinea aint gonna make big noise and even gonna help flock versus predators.

Drakes mating chickens can cause very serious damage to your hens. The reproductive parts are not the same.
I don't know about guineas and chickens, though. Here, I found this off another thread:

a guinea cannot breed a chicken with success.
a chicken can breed a guinea though.
offspring have a low hatch rate,
and have trouble surviving.
And are sterile.
My maren is setting on possibly guin eggs.

Definitely need to keep that drake away from the chickens. Ducks are one of the few birds that have a penis, and, without going into detail on it, it is very, very harsh. Female ducks are equipped to handle it, chickens are not. It can seriously hurt them. To see it:

I'm not sure about guineas but I think they have similar reproductive organs to chickens, so you wouldn't have the same problem.

A guinea cock can mate with a chicken successfully but it rarely happens because the sex act between guineas is not quite the same as it is with chickens.

So far there has been no evidence presented that guinea chicken crosses have trouble surviving. There is anecdotal evidence that they do not live long lives but there are the reports that some do live much longer than expected.
