    Injured Guinea Keet

    Just this one, it is the only one that has hatched and I have another shrink wrapped in the egg. So I am keeping an eye on that one. This one is not moving, I feel like it is too hurt. Its breathing, and has its eyes closed, but I'm not sure what to do for treatment.

    Chick with broken leg?

    It looks like it is. The chick limps around and doesn't move as much as its siblings. It lays down a lot. It has its leg raised and doesn't put weight onto it.

    Week old chicks with Pasty Butt

    Thanks guys for the tips!! The chick that seemed worse of the two is now doing better and running around the brooder with its siblings. :wee Both chicks are doing better, with the daily cleaning of their vents with warm water. I think the pasty butt is clearing up. Not as much poop on them anymore.

    Week old chicks with Pasty Butt

    Oh ok, I'll see if we have baby oil around. Yes other than pasty butt, one is acting normal, while the smallest seems to just stand and be alone it's the one who's case of pasty butt seems more severe let's say than the other one. The rest of the chicks are acting ok. and keeping warm.

    Week old chicks with Pasty Butt

    Hello y'all I have 2 chicks that are a week old, and they seem to have gotten pasty butt. Today I've cleaned their vent area with warm water and a q-tip. The chicks are the youngest of the 6.
