So not sure if this is where to post this but my teacher is raising chicks to keep and we are hatching guinea hens from my farm and if some do hatch i get a few he gets the rest. I was wondering if some do hatch could I take my favorite chick flash a welsummer that I desperately want home with the few keets and raise the chick with the keets then integrate them all to my flock of guinea-hens.

Guineas are very different than chickens. They have different attitudes and breeding behaviors if I remember correctly

If I'm understanding your post properly, you would like to raise one chick with a few keets?

I see. Guineas have some similarities to chickens but don't speak the same language. I would suspect he would be bullied badly once the hormones started.

Then he needs to be in his own coop. The Guinea fowl will absolutely make him miserable. Guinea cocks are hateful and keeping him out of a selfish reason to let him be tormented, chased, plucked, and possibly killed isn't fair to him.
