Our roost is very high because it is above the poop deck. When we first built the coop we provided a ramp for them to walk up but they never used it so when we remodeled we removed it. Obviously when they are small they can’t fly up as high as the adults but you will be amazed at how quickly they grow and can get up there. You want the roost to be high enough to keep them safe if a predator gets into the coop at night.

We kept them separate the first year we had Guinea but because we let them free range during the day it became too time-consuming to coral them in the evening to their separate coops. Ours got along fine when we allowed them to roost together even when they weren’t raised together. The Guinea chased the chickens during the day but seemed to be fine sleeping next to each other.

You are welcome! Good luck with your coop.
