How long do guineafowl live
Guineafowl live 10–15 years in a safe setup. Predation is the main limit — they roost in trees and are hawk, fox, and coyote vulnerable. Good coops and flock size improve survival. They are hardy but susceptible to the same respiratory diseases as chickens if kept in damp, crowded conditions.
Housing and the roosting instinct
They need a coop to train into at night (they prefer to roost outdoors otherwise) and secure fencing. Guineas fly well and roost high — clip one wing or provide tall perches. They tolerate heat better than cold-wet; dry, airy housing prevents respiratory illness. Allow 2–3 sq ft (0.2–0.3 m²) per bird inside.
