They have such bad raps as parents! I've had great mothers....and not so great. Kind of like humans

I have had 2 male guineas for over 2 years. I received 15 guineas and 20 chicks last week. They are in separate brooding boxes. Much to my surprise one of male guineas gets in the brooder and acts as guinea mothers do with their little ones. He has spent longer and longer periods with them...

thanks for the information, Miss Lydia. I gave her 1 cc tylan 50 orally because I am not comfortable with giving her a shot and I saw on site that others have used tylan orally. If you have any thoughts about that, i'd love to hear them. I thought I would give her 1 cc twice daily until...

If it is, what do I do?!?
