I am getting onto the Vitamin B so thanks for that!
is it too late to brace his legs and make a shoe as i did when he was 2 days old? I can't find any info on older birds with this problem. I tried moving the tendon but had no luck.... his leg feels solid with nothing moving unlike the youtube...
Hi everyone
Healy, my guinea fowl was the only one who hatched out of a group of eggs. He was born with a splay leg, I made him a boot and straightened his toes which seemed to work.
Now he is about 8 weeks old and his leg is giving him problems ...in my eyes at least.
He seems to have no grip...
Thanks for your help Perris. No he didn't, I lost him half an hour ago. Despite it all I don't believe anything was done incorrectly, he was very skinny and weak, his bum was gluey"so it was meant to be. (I have to tell myself hat ) Mind you coming out feet first was not a good sign and I have...
I have popped him in the brooder with my other newborn but he is just lying there. I think its up to nature now, but i really hope he makes it. Ive done everything I can. I lost one last night and I really don't want to see the same thing happen, so thanks for your advice :)

Hi again everyone

Thanks again !!
I have done as you suggested and added a small container of rice to see if that will reduce humidity. I shall keep you informed. Hope the other eggs in the incubator will be ok.....always something to worry about haha.
Have done it! I removed it and quickly shut incubator.
He is lying there shaking and shivering since he was born...not fluffing up yet either. I don't remember my other little one being like that...is he weak or can this happen. He has made no attempt to get up.I know it can take a while but am...
OH another question...if this little birdie survives and fluffs up....should i remove the waste around his bottom or just let it be?
Thanks in advance everyone :)
omg Pyxis thank goodness!!! I suppose my loss of my other chick has made me hysterical but I'm praying this little guy makes it.....thanku thanku thanku:wee:love
