Hi Bauer, sorry to hear about your loss last night! Yes, penning them up at night will help a lot with your losses. There are many threads in this forum about Guinea coops. A few:

Thanks for these links… I’m needing to build a coop for them, but I’m also trying to figure out how I am going to get them separated from my chicken flock . The plan is chickens on one side the property near the house and guineas down at the barn…. Somewhere lol…. Letting them out with the chickens wasn’t intentional but it’s becoming a problem because they peck at their wattles and my rooster acts like his personal space is completely invaded . My poor birds.

Just having some separation, like splitting the coop, was enough that the guineas mostly leave the chickens alone.
