Older guinea chicks with hatchlings?

[hobby chick]

Hi everyone. I had a hen raise some guineas who are now 12 weeks old. I have some more due in a week that I'd like to pop under the same hen (she's broody again and a super mum) but the older guineas are still hanging around, snuggling up with her at night. My worry is, are they likely to attack the new babies if they can get to them, or will mum keep them safe? Anyone with any experience? TIA

I wouldn't risk it.
