Yes, I've used my Hovabator to hatch both Guinea and Chicken eggs together in order to raise them in a mixed flock. Guineas take 28 days and Chickens take 21, so I let the Guinea eggs incubate for a week, then add the chicken eggs to the bator and have them all hatch within the same 24 hours.

I have taken the eggs from a hen and slipped guinea eggs under her to hatch keets:
