It all depends on the amount of space given and the ratio of males/females in your flock. with a ratio of 1:1 guineafowl, the males will certainly attack your chickens. But given a ratio of 1:5 and a few roosters in your chicken flock, and that you have enough space (quarter of an acre)...

not all males will accept more than one female, but in their flocks (naturally in the wild) there are normally more females than males. Some males desire to have more than one mate, and the flock needs to be ready for that. If they don't have enough females for those males that desire more...

ratio for guineafowl should be 1 male for 4-5 females. male guineafowl can get pretty aggressive and their tick-eating beaks can cause some damage. males fight until one backs down to establish a pecking order. too many males, especially when raised amongst roosters, may encourage more and...

The reward is owning guineafowl. Given that there is enough land for the birds to run, fights are tiny and shouldn't be much of a problem. If the birds are all in a pen together, then brutal fighting may occur. The breed of chicken also matters. I have RIRs that get big and can hold themselves...

what was ur ratio of male guineas to roosters? I know somebody who raised guineas with a hen flock and nothing happened after years they were still together fine. ive seen his guineas go after the mailman and snakes too but never hens. They may tackle a rooster during breeding season but idk...

I agree but perhaps a ratio of 5 guineas to ten chickens work well and the guineas will be slightly less noisier than a full guinea flock that was not raised with chickens.

I think that this depends on the breed of chickens and how much land you have. But I can agree that if there are more guineas than chickens then the chickens will go through bullying. But a few keets raised alongside baby chickens can work better and maybe even get quieter guineas. But a...

My uncle raised keets that were raised with other guineafowl and they were an absolute ruckus. They flew a lot and were super loud. However, I have heard people say that raising guinea keets with a silkie hen or alongside baby chickens can keep them somewhat quieter, so I tried it with a...

I had a coturnix quail raise my two guinea keets, and these are the quietest guineafowl I have ever seen. Whenever they are near the quail, they barely make a noise, and they barely get spooked by anything. Compared to guinea-raised keets (that get scared of leaves falling down trees), these...
