Is there any chance that my peacock would breed with the guinea fowl I have just got?

Yes if the peacock is without a peahen and the guinea fowl is a hen then yes its very possible

Any hybrids would almost certainly be sterile and they don't appear to be particularly long-lived from what I have been able to find.

I read of one in the US living for 2 years but yes sterile and pointless breeding one

Don't worry I will not let him have his way with the guinea fowl I will keep them apart

Thank you for that

Would the guinea fowl and the peacocks be ok to free range around together on 5 acres I have the 2 peacocks now but would like 2 or 3 guinea fowls

Mine free range together and they get on good only now when they are breeding do the guinea fowls get a little pushy and try to bully the peafowls but they just look at them
