Guinea sleeping on roof

[dudefromtampa]

Something bothered them. Perhaps a cat or an owl. If they were mine I would have never let them roost on the deck or in a tree. It is not a safe place. The only safe place is inside a predator proof building or coop.

The way to change their habits is to get them into the protected "coop" before it is time for them to roost. Herding them or luring them in with treats can work.

I understand but sometimes it's hard NOT to "let" them do things. They way I have them now is that their coop is in the middle of this big corral where I also have 2 chicken coops and a quail tractor. I did it this way initially so it'd be easy to just put one electric fence around the whole thing. I'm starting to rethink this method though.
