im new to guineas and I’m in the process of cleaning out my shed for our first batch of guineas. They’re due to hatch Wednesday (8/31), so I’ve got a bit of time to get it ready, but I’m not sure what to do. It’s a partly open shed, closed on 3 sides and the peak is probably 15 feet high. I plan to put chicken wire up to close the gap between the top of the wall and ceiling, and some sort of barrier/enclosure on the 4th side, but I am uncertain if it would be better to do an “open” wall of chicken wire or a solid wall with a door. I live in the Midwest (zone 5 growing season), and we haven’t lived in this house through a winter yet, but based on all the windmills around us it looks like it might get windy.
