Guinea fowl will not roost in tree?

[Fjones]

I have 2 month old Guinea fowl who will not roost in the trees. I lost one to a fox yesterday but yet the others still remained on the ground.

How do I encourage them into the tree?

They need to be in a secure coop at night, not in a tree. Owls and raccoons can and will prey on guineas roosting in trees.
