    no,the chickens will pick the guinea hens and hurt/kill them,chickens are pretty mean sometimes,you should let the guinea chicks get big before you combine them....

    I wouldn't do it. The bigger chickens will most likely attack the smaller ones, if not kill them. I would wait and let them grow. The best time to mix chickens together is when they're around the same size that way the ones that are getting picked on can defend themselves.

    Hope this helps!
