Chickens taking off

[WmMike]

I picked up a rooster and three hens along with five guines last week. put them into my chicken house for 3 ays beore letting them out into their enclosure. It is 20x30 with 6 ft fench. Yesterday they all decided to take off. Any ideas on how to get them to stay?

Fence the top off. Especially if you're worried about predators. If they are flying out now, they will continue to do so. I have a speckled sussex who is very ingenious at getting out of runs that don't have tops. That's my only advice.

You will never get a guinea to stay in an enclosure without a top. They fly too well.

The guineas I am not worried about if they would learn to come back to roost, all of them flew into a 40 ft tree last night. Thechickens I will let range as soon as I know they will return to coop.
