If they were my guineas, I would take a long stick and chase them out of the trees any time they fly up into them. Many repetitions of making them uncomfortable in the trees will convince them that is not where they want to be.Hi! This is my first time posting, anyone ever have their guineas fly up into the trees and not come down? I’m getting a bit discouraged that they won’t come down at all, all day? I was looking forward to letting them out but now I’m afraid they are just going to starve themselves to death in the trees?! They do come down to the coop the last two nights.. I had to coax them with a stick last night out of the tree but today they are so high up that won’t be possible! I attached a picture. That’s where they stay allll day long!

@Hpatterson09 Welcome to byc! Sometimes mine go in the trees for a while, usually when they get startled. They probably eat some leaves and bugs while they're up there, so I wouldn't worry about them starving. My biggest concern would be predators.[/QUOTE
Thank you!!
A little update, I have been keeping two guineas in the coop everyday (rotating which ones). They completely stay out of the trees and they walk around and come down to the house but mostly
hang out by the coop. I’m going to try this for a couple weeks and then let them all out together again!
Ground level.Building a new coop for winter. Plus more coyote proof . Planning on an interior enclosed area for roosting and not sure if I should add nest boxes. If so, how high or at ground level? Anyone have good ideas? Thanks.View attachment 1565833
