So I have 6 guineas who I've recently released into the yard. Theyre 10 weeks old and since they were released 2 at a time, the obviously started roosting close to where the brooder is, which is about 5 feet from the stairs to my porch. Now 4 of the guineas are out and they have taken to sleeping every night on my porch. It started with a couple testing out the stairs, but would run down if they heard a noise. Now all 4 roost in a chair on the porch at night, and are LOUD trying to get the others to join them. Ive tried closing the door to the porch, but they pecked a hole in the screen and got on anyways. I feed them about 10 feet aways from the porch and put their water there also, but they STILL sleep on the porch. The amount of poo I have to wash off the stairs every morning is crazy. Ive taken to just keeping the hose on the porch because its become a labyrinth trying to walk down the stairs without stepping in it.
The will be moved into a coop/run once its finished, but that won't be for another week or so. Do I have to just endure it? Or is there a way to get them to roost elsewhere? Id let the other 2 guineas out but they would still stay close as they find the geese and ducks to be part of the flock too and I can't just release them into the yard. They can't fly yet
