Here is what I have now:

I had to enlarge I started out with 18 keets and 6 peas I now have 46 keets and 5 peas am owed another pea.
The guineas free range during the day and they come back in at night to eat then I lock them up. I have chain link fencing with fencing on the top. I have the fencing wired together and wired to the chin link. We have too many predators not to lock them up at night.

Oh that is really nice and all that green stuff on the ground must cut down on the feed bill wish I had some as my ducks and geese the chickens and guinea would just enjoy that

Looks like you have some very nice pens there and the RR ties are the same thing I use on my fencing to slow down on the digging ......

The little red house and fence are for the babies when they come out of the brooder.

Oh them are some beautiful birds you have some years ago when I was up in Squaw Valley Ca. I was given some blue's by the former owners and they would roost way up in an old oak tree and just squawk at anything that moved and I also learned not to park any vehicles under the tree but they are some really nice birds to watch as they patrol the yard and the previous owners had ten on all the trunks of the trees to keep the raccoons from getting up in the trees ..........

That is why I keep them penned up, and they also like to go visiting; as in gone for 5 or 6 or more at a time!
