How to get guineas to get along with chickens??

We have 3 adult guineas. They have always been around chickens and have been fine with chickens they were raised with but severely attacked/killed my little turkey and terrorized a group of younger chickens we got until they just ran off I guess.
If I can't figure out a way to keep them from attacking the chickens they are being sold asap.
 
When starting to mature and even more so during breeding/mating season, male guineas usually begin with their typical chasing of the hens and oneanother, which often ends with severe injuries for chickens and other poultry that do not understand the guinea specific rituals.

I had to separate mine as well from the chicken flock, as they damaged some of my chicken hens' butts biting chunks out of their rumps and almost killed one cockerel that came to the rescue of one of his sisters that was being cornered by the guineas and screamed for help.

ETA: Picture (before they had to be separated.)
