I had to re home all my guineas to some friends who love them, because they were attacking my chickens. Even my head roo! (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.
Personally, I won't have Guineas again until we live somewhere that I can give them their own housing.
Changing in the season/lighting will also affect egg production.

Subject: [CHICKENS-101] Guineas In My Henhouse
I have five males guineas in my henhouse along with 20 hens and a rooster.
With a molt my egg production has dropped off, and I am wondering if the constant aggravation of the presence of the guineas is affecting my egg production.
In fact, they even intimidate my Rhode Island Red rooster.
