Guinea fowls have been chasing the rooster all day

[luvchickies]

I have 20 chickens including 2 guineas and 2 roosters. The guineas have been chasing the white leghorn rooster who is the top roo. He doesn't have the slightest interest in mating with them. Has anyone have this happen before?

When Guinea fowl get something in their minds? they can be relentless. Unless he is protected from them, they may very well kill him.

Are the guineas males? Or females? Were they brooded with the chickens?

I'm sure the guineas are females. We've had them since they were chicks. We got the roosters when the hens were 5 months. The guineas are the bottom of the pecking order but they are hanging out as bodyguards with the top roosters favorite hen, another leghorn.

I have a female guinea, but don't have a male guinea. I have on occasion seen her run at my dominant chicken roo. She doesn't attack him. She squats try to get his attention.

I have heard of male guinea being aggressive with chickens. I have not heard of female guinea being aggressive to chickens​
