If I got a few guinea fowls would they eat the chooks food and do the chook lay pellets help make guinea fowls lay eggs also?

Yes and No
Do you only feed your chook pellets?

Yes just the pellets

You need to give guineas hard grains like sunflower and wheat and don't forget lots of greens and fruit and veg woohoo4

I'll second that, for the last few months a have been feeding my penned guineas chicken scratch mix three or four days a week and wheat the other days and there loving it. I try to mix in some house scraps as well.
