Here's the girls, they ran out of the coop to greet me when I went to take these pics.
Today's pic of the coop. We now have a perch inside but I've rarely ever seen them on it. Note at the back left there's a black square. That's a door that Jerry cut out of the hog panel. It's tied on with cable ties and we "lock" it up in the daytime with a caribener so the guineas can come and go. Even though they fly out of the pen area they can never figure out how to get back in and they go running around and around the outside of the pen wondering how to get back in. Now with their front and back "trap doors" they come and go. These chickens have not have that privilege until this week. We wanted them to get used to the farm and their area. Most of them seem quite content to stay in their yard but last night a few wandered out to the back area, not too far.
The back of the coop is where the back fence is for them so they have a good sized area to roam.
There are a good amount of trees that provide both perches and shade.
I painted this chicken years ago, not knowing I'd be owning some real ones! We just screwed it onto the front of the coop. It's kinda rustic version of a chicken.
