I can't tell about the droppings with 15 of them in there. Nothing on the bedding looks like diarrhea though. I did have one that right after hatch needed leg braces for splay legs but once they fell off you couldn't tell which one he was since all of them stood fine at that point. Now these...

I wrote on here last week about 3 of my 2 week old guinea keets that just aren't right. They are very imbalanced, falling over and laying on their backs with feet up in the air and constantly trembling. I have a total of 15 and all the others are very healthy and strong. These little...

thank you for your advise...I just went up to the barn and put a packet of electrolytes/vitamins in their water. Currently they are in the barn with no fumes and the bedding I have them on is my horses hay. After hearing that wood shavings are bad I went with hay. So far it seems to be ok but...

I have successfully hatched 15 guinea keets that are just short of 2 weeks old. They all seemed great with the exception of one that had spraddle legs that with a bandaid leg brace he is now fine. About a few days ago I noticed a few of them that seemed to have difficulty with balance...the...

Is my horse hay ok for bedding for my 15 4 day old keets? I tried brown paper bags and all it did was cause spraddle legs on one ( he now has a bandaid brace ) and then I switched to towels which was causing pasty butts since it didn't absorb but rather caked on top of it. I put them on some...

I just hatched 15 baby keets 2 days ago and read that they cannot be on pine shavings til 2 weeks old. Alot of people suggested towels and switching them out for clean ones when dirty so this is what I'm doing. How in the world do you keep THEM clean when all they do is huddle in a corner and...

that would be frustrating! In my opinion Vet Rx is not really a medicine but kind of like vicks vapor rub for us...it won't treat an illness but may provide temporary relief....How much Tylan and how long did you run the course? I had a silkie last month with exactly what your explaining and I...

I am locking down 15 guinea eggs that I bought from a man last month. I am super excited about adding some to my existing flock of chickens, geese and ducks. Can anyone give me general info about these awesome birds. I plan on keeping some and selling the rest but I've had people tell me to...

thanks everyone! I hope my little Jelly Belly pulls thru and gets to feeling better. Finger's crossed!

as for the babies....I rehomed all but 2 and from vent sexing I kept only girls. No more ducklings for me! That is why I'm thinking of finding him a home and keeping his girls for eggs!

no your fine...blunt is good. I couldn't actually do that anyways. I'm all talk! I do have a divider down the middle, that's how I have them for now but I'm adding more chickens to my family and soon they'll need a full run. I was just hoping they could all get along. The problem I have...

I have 3 toulouse goslings that are about a month and a half old. I think they are 2 boys and a girl ( although when I vent sexed them I thought it looked like 2 girls and a boy ) I'm only saying now that I think they are 2 boys because the girl is smaller and feathering a day or 2 slower than...

I didn't see the other post about keeping him....I've tried for so long and feel bad about isolating him when all the others get along great. I have 3 toulouse geese that aren't quite full grown and he is actually submissive to them. It's just he has a thing for chickens....last yr he got his...

so I guess my question is how long before she will die if he injured her? She seemed down in the dumps before this last episode for about 2 or 3 days. Now he got her again and I am mad at myself for not thinking of that when I let him out for the second I got the pen door open to get the...
