Guinea coop different than a chicken coop?

[mama2many]

I have guineas that think they are chickens and a chicken that thinks its a guinea. They are all just comingled. My adults hang with the rooster and I have a chick that lives with 8 keets. In my house it's monkey see monkey do. They all live like chickens though. My guineas roost with the chickens and don't go to the highest roost my guineas hen isn't laying-if she is I have no idea where. They are just crazy like that. Wishing you the best.

You can provide nesting boxes for your guineas, just in case, but they will most likely not lay in there. Ours are trained to come everynight, and they were raised with the chickens. We didn't use millet as a training tool, we just kept all the chickens and guineas together for a few weeks then opened the doors. The guineas thought of the chickens as their parents and didn't stray too far at first. Everyone comes home around dusk now and roosts high up on the rafters of the hen house.
