    Guinea keet listless, won't eat or drink

    Cool. I am expecting them to wander in the woods and probably the neighbors yard. I showed them a video 😂 and they still said it was fine. I think I could also get them a coop for the woods if they are too much for the yard.

    Guinea keet listless, won't eat or drink

    I do have neighbors, but I spoke to them before ordering and they said they didn't mind. They've both got roosters that crow 24/7 and are used to the livestock noises. One has screaming goats... they wake me up every morning. Hmm, I read that raising them with chicks can help them calm down...

    Guinea keet listless, won't eat or drink

    Guinea keet listless, won't eat or drink

    Sounds good, thanks! I'll update later and post pics of the other babies! Staying positive that I did my best with the deceased baby. And hoping it wasn't something I did. Is 5 keets enough for a guinea flock? I've read absolute minimum is 3, but minimum order was 6 so want to make sure. They...

    Guinea keet listless, won't eat or drink

    ok will do. Flock raiser says it is good for keets but I will get to the feed store soon. Anything I can suppliment for the time being. I've got mealworms, super worms, crickets, and dubia roaches. Maybe they'd like the roaches? They are very high in nutrients, I feed them to my lizards. I have...

    Guinea keet listless, won't eat or drink

    Yeah, it happens, poor thing. Towards the end it looked like she was having a seizure so who knows. Since it is a mixed brood I am feeding flock raiser, 20% protien I believe. After doing some more reading I am thinking about offering different bowls of feed, game bird, duckling, and gosling...

    Guinea keet listless, won't eat or drink

    The keet passed away, I went outside to get my purse from the car and when I came back she was lying on her side and had coughed up the contents of her stomach, which was some feed and water. So I'm not really sure what happened. Perhaps she aspirated earlier, and it just took this long for her...

    Guinea keet listless, won't eat or drink

    Last thing tonight. Here is a video of her just 5 minutes ago. She started moving strangely so I grabbed my camera and caught this. Neurological issues? I picked her up and tried to get her to drink after and she was even more resistant to drinking. Don't think she is going to make it 😞

    Guinea keet listless, won't eat or drink

    Don't know if this will help anything or if it is just dumb but I'm trying some skin on skin contact with the keet, like what they do with babies who are failing to thrive. I am going to take her to work with me tomorrow and hide her under the counter with a heat pad so I can keep a close eye...

    Guinea keet listless, won't eat or drink

    Keet hatched on Tuesday, so 6 days old. Arrived Thursday. Ordered from My Pet Chicken. I've never had Guinea hens before but wanted to try them out. I have a tick problem in my yard and wanted to see if they could make a difference. I Ordered 6 since that was the minimum order quantity, along...
