Any special considerations for housing guineas?

[pennfarm]

We are about to build a house in preparation for our first guinea fowl this spring. I'm anticipating we will have ~8 or less guineas to house. Besides liking to roost high up, are there any other special requirements guineas have that we should plan for and incorporate in their coop? Since we plan to let them free range during the day, will they need a separate run or can they share one with our ducks on the hopefully rare occasions we need to keep them penned?

Thanks!

Unless you have a covered run, they will fly out by time they are 4 weeks old.
I free range mine and some sleep inside the green house and the rest roost in a tree beside the green house.
i don't know about sharing a pen with other fowl cause i don't have any pens but mine get along fine with othe birds here.
