Rooster mating with guinea fowl ?!?!

[Mckennas poultry]

so the other day I went out to witness my rooster mating my guinea fowl, they didn’t seem to mind it surprisingly, just a week ago he was chasing them and now he’s calling them over for food and mating with them.... I think he’s a bit confused, maybe he thinks they are just weird chickens.... what is going to happen when the guineas go broody in the summer ? Will we have guinea chicken hybrids ? Not that I want that but is it even possible???

Guinea hybrids are possible, happens more often with roos to guinea hens rather than vice versa, due to differences in mating. I saw some guinea hybrids on here, they are super cool! I would totally try to hatch some.

Guinea hybrids are possible. I’ve seen some before. Sometimes guinea mothers get confused because they don’t look like normal guinea babies. But eventually she’ll be fine with them. And yes they look really cool
