Guinea Dad

[Guinea Dad]

I am retired Navy and Civil service. Married, after retiring we move to the wife's property. We have friends with guinea fowls and decided to get some, so we got 15 hatchlings, and at 2 months turned them loose. Now they roost any way they can and recently that has been the air conditioners or the handicap ramp hand rails. Which the make a mess. How do we keep them from roosting there and to roost somewhere else?

Welcome to BYC.
Build them a large coop and lock them up in it at night to roost.



Maybe you can try to block the railings some how. Sorry, I'm not much help.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I don't have guineas so I can't really help. Just stopping by to welcome you.

Ahh, were you Federal or State service? (if you don't mind saying)

As to the guineas on the AC, can you get those pigeon plastic spikes, or something similar? Maybe construct a dunce Cap for the condensers so they cannot perch on it?

Good luck with figuring out the roosting issue.
