Yes, pigs will kill and eat chickens and guinea fowl, especially if they are hungry or see them as prey, so they should not be mixed without a physical barrier or strict supervision. Pigs are opportunistic omnivores and will prey on smaller animals, including poultry, even if they have been housed together previously. Factors that increase this risk include hunger, protein deficiency in their diet, and a lack of sufficient protein.

Hunger: Pigs that are not fed regularly or have an insufficient diet are more likely to hunt small animals to supplement their food intake.

Natural instinct: Pigs are opportunistic omnivores and will prey on smaller animals when the opportunity arises. This is true for both large domestic hogs and feral pigs.

Territorial behavior: Pigs can be territorial and may attack smaller animals if they feel threatened or if the smaller animals enter their space.

Protein deficiency: If a pig’s diet is lacking in protein, it may seek it out by hunting other animals.

Eggs: Pigs will also eat eggs, even if they don’t eat the adult birds themselves.

To prevent pigs from attacking poultry, it is best to keep them in separate enclosures with a physical barrier that the pigs cannot cross. If you need to allow them to share a space, you must provide constant supervision and be prepared to separate them at any
