Are the speckles anything to be worried about? Excess bloom or lack of "coating" isn't a sign of a health issue?

I have a handsome 6 month old guinea fowl, that I'm pretty sure is a male. He needs a new home with other guineas because he is becoming a little possessive of our female duck. I don't want him to leave but he needs a home full of other guinea fowl with lots of ladies. Please let me know if...

Yes I only have one guinea and I didn't realize they were flock animals. I think the best thing for me to do is find my guinea (who may be a girl or boy) a home full of guineas.

Hi, So I raised my guinea with my chickens and ducks about 6 months ago. This is my first time raising any birds and the tractor supply lady acted like the guinea would act like a chicken if raised with them. Well two weeks ago my guinea attacked my drake for some reason and he died three days...

I'm sure you probably already found them a home but if not let me know. I'm only looking for one though, it's my first time owning ducks and I just lost one to a predator and his girlfriend needs a buddy.

Their pen is very secure but I'll double check. My duck was attacked outside the pen though, and the other birds were out too which is why I didn't think it was a predator but I don't have a lot of experience with preds so it could have gone after one in the flock. Also, any suggestions on...

I was on my way to the vet but he passed. Thank you all for all your help. Do you think my other duck will be lonely by herself? I'm having bad luck as a first time chicken and duck owner. Next time I have a sick bird I'm going straight to the vet no more home remedies!

I'm not really sure what did but he hasn't eaten in 2 days and I just came upstairs to check on him and one eye is really swollen and the other had a drop of something run out of it! I'm really scared, I don't want him to die and he's looking really rough right now. He won't move his legs or...

Attacked* here are picture of his nose and neck. The neck is hard to see I think it's starting to heal but the feathers are plastered down. He also hasn't eaten or drank much since last night

Hi y'all! I have a question on how to care for and how to deal with a duck and a guinea who aren't getting along. My sweet khaki Campbell drake was attached by one of my other birds last night. I have 4 chickens but they are not aggressive at all so I'm quite sure it was the guinea that did...

Hi, thank you so much for all your advice! My guess is it was the grass because I didn't give her treats at all but I let her run around outside with her sisters. Unfortunately she passed last night so I will not be able to try the coconut oil or stool softener but I appreciate the advice and...

Hi! I have never raised chickens before and now I have 5 chicks, a Guinea and 2 ducks and I love them all dearly but one of my chicks has fallen sick and I'm not sure what is wrong with her/how to make her better. She is an ISA brown between 4-5 weeks old (doesn't have all her head feathers...
