Mine don't,just 3 coops built to 1 coop, their was a hole from the chickens 2 parts of the coops leading inside their coop. The guineas sleep in the nest boxes since they don't know what they are.. I give them roosts in the run but they don't use them. I have a nice secured run with a tin fenced roof, hardy fence that foxes and bears have attempted to break down and have yet to succeed and tons of branches for them, they'd rather sleep where the chickens lay their eggs.
Oh yes, we left the top with just hardware cloth and did not cover the door. I have vents inside of the duck house to keep them properly ventilated. They just do not like the high winds that we get here, especially when it is freezing.
Mostly, I still need to hook up my de-icer for the stock tank so it does not freeze. I am looking to get another bigger one and attach a drain like the current one. Then I don't worry about dumping water on the ground and breaking my arm again. It gets so slick. Last year I spent 6 weeks with a full arm cast and that was not fun or attractive. LOL. We just trimmed and took down some trees so I have a huge pile of wood chips behind the run that I need to spread out inside and outside of the run to keep it from being too muddy. We have been drizzling rain for about 2 days now with some ugly stuff on the way.
Looks good
This is exactly what I do. They are pooping machines
Alright, I normally lure the ducks in with food if they don't go in at night, normally the muscovies wait for me to come up with food that's why I leave water in there.. how do I break their habit?
