Our 10 guineas are 1 month younger than the chickens, so they were raised together. The chickens are 5 months old and the quineas are 4 months. The chickens are Araucaunas, so they are not small birds, but the guineas attack the chickens. They tear out their tail and back feathers. The chickens have become so afraid of them that they hide in the woods to get away from them. Anyone know what to do about this problem, before I make some fried guinea with gravy? I just had to include a picture of Rosie.
