Okay.. this guinea (possibly a chicken Guinea mix) hatched out sometime today.
Problem 1 : momma broody was off the nest today
Problem 2 : baby is definitely injured.. not sure if it got pecked, was born deformed, or what. Either way, the leg IS broken. It bends at weird angles and just seems to dangle from the body with little to no movement. Baby does not seem to be in pain, doesn't cry when I touch her leg, is able to right herself but not walk. Am giving water with aspirin.
