Guinea Fowl Housing tools: what they help with
These calculators size your guinea fowl's living space: the minimum and recommended dimensions, how much bedding or substrate to buy and what fits in the space you have. Too little space is one of the most common welfare problems in pets. The right size gives a guinea fowl room to move, rest and behave normally.
What to know about housing and enclosure size for guinea fowl
Guinea fowl are semi-wild birds kept mainly for tick control and alarm calling. They roam widely, roost in trees given the chance, and are extremely loud, which makes them a poor fit for close neighbors. Target humidity is around 40-60%.
