Will Guinea Hens Kill Each Other?

They have aggressive personalities.
Their violence extends past the species, too, and you may find them attacking your roosters or other animals. They will need to figure out a pecking order, especially if you add or remove individual fowl. They can be incredibly cruel to each other until they figure this out.

Will guineas kill each other?

I have been charged at by a Guinea hen with young keets and have been attacked by a male Guinea fowl so yes, Guineas will happily attack humans. They have no concept of their own size and will go after humans, turkeys, ducks and chickens if the fancy takes them.

Can you keep male guinea fowl together?

I would recommend at least 6 in a group as they are sociable creatures and even in the wild they tend to live in small groups for life. The only time the group splits up is during mating season when the couples need to nest. Guinea Fowl don't do so well on their own and will grow noticeably depressed as time passes.
