Is my coop big enough for guineas?

[Jtroyer81]

Hi my name is Jase and I’m new to guineas, we currently have 7 guineas that are 6 and a half weeks old right now there still in the brooder but we were planning on moving them out to the coop this week, our coop is an old dog kennel and is 47 square feet. I was wondering if that would be to small for seven guinea fowl?

It depends on how tall the actual coop is. When i think of a kennel, I think of a small dog box in a chain link run. If that is what you are talking about and your total size is the 47 sq. ft., it is not a good set up for guineas.

It is 6 feet tall, does it need to be higher?

Guineas like to roost high. Six feet is not very tall.
