Some are in trees or on roofs. Some are on the ground in the run, a few are in a building. No coherency with these "not a ducks". (just finished "the good place" ;))

For comparison all of our ducks are together on the ground in a run. don't even have to call them in, they put themselves away.

same with a chickens, we have 5600 sq ft area for them with a 350 sq feet fully enclosed run attached to a 128 sq ft coop. All I do is lock the doors at night.

guineas definitely have to be put away, they dont roost high enough and we have lost three so far. Should I just leave the Muscovy to do their thing? They have been getting higher and higher. Tonight they were 20-25' up a walnut tree. I clapped and one jumped down. Others I had to spook. Soon there wont be leaves to spook them with though.

Do they just need individual roosting spaces/boxes, or little family (2-3 birds) areas. With some higher fenced perching areas? I cant get a read on them as they all seem to do different stuff
 
Mine enjoy a larger area. They don't necessarily like going into a smaller enclosure. They do need roosts, as well as floor space as some may sleep on the floor.
