Integrating in Main Flock

[merrymutts]

Tried a couple days ago to integrate the juveniles ( 12 weeks +/- ) with the main flock. The sections of thhe coop has ben divided with chicken wire and a screen door. Definitely a look but no touch situation.

So I opened the door so all could start being together... Our adult guineas were being real A**holes and started bullying the juvenile guineas so I had to separate them again and close the doot. One rooster kept bullying the juvenile chickens so they kept to their normal side.

When could I try this again ?

Are these birds all guineas?
How long have they been see no touch?
Dimensions and pics of your coop and run would be most helpful here.

Guineas and Chickens on both sides. Main coop is 9' x 12' with part of that 3' x 9 ' sectioned off ( baby side ). Been see but no touch since juveniles first started hopping out of their brooder box in te smaller section.

Juvenile run is 10' x 10' nd the main run is 10' x 30'

How long were they see no touch before you opened the door to let them mingle?
Not sure but think guineas can be more territorial than chickens.
