we have 5 guineas (two males I think) and 25 various breed/sex chickens.. they are all 16 weeks old and we raised the guineas right along side of the chicks from when we got them at 5wks.. so far no problem..
We have two white rock roosters that are running rough-shod over everyone and even trying to mate the guineas..
for the most part they act like chickens... they go out with them and come in at night with them... although tonight one thought they may try to fly on top of the coop ... but changed his mind when he realized the snack was inside...
oh.. and I have always thought they were loud but now they are REALLY coming into their voices.. .I think I am going to have to wear ear plugs when i am in the coop ... OMG!

(large Turken) I was free ranging at the time and when it came time to eat they were absolute terrors. They would roost together fine, and on of the females had a nest in the chicken house.
