    Sick Keet! 8-9 weeks old

    5 days ago I noticed one of my keets hunching its head into it's body, with fluffy feathers. I brought it inside, popped it into a crate, set it up with food and water, and started watching for signs of what was wrong. Crop is fine, keet eats and drinks and poops normally. Keet has been inside...

    It came from some other threads on treating sour crop. I was frantically researching all over the internet, lol! :)

    As someone who has used that type of medicine for its intended use, the concept simply horrifies me. *rueful chuckle*

    Quick update - baby loved egg yolk, and there was no need to syringe thankfully. She'd just stick her beak in the yolk and suck it up, lol! I put her back with the other babies today as she's back to 100% happy and wanting to constantly eat and run around and perch on my head, lol. :) Looks like...

    I tried a bit of nutridrench in water yesterday and it perked him up but his crop didn't empty all day long, and it felt squishy so I thought maybe sour crop and I gave him monistat yesterday - crop emptied fully overnight and I'm trying to persuade him to eat mashed up scrambled egg with some...

    Hatched toward the end of June, all babies are fine and happy except all of a sudden one is hunchy and fluffy-feathered. I've had a bunch of appointments this week so haven't handled them, just making sure food is full and water is full and clean. In these past several days this baby has gotten...

    Coop and weather..

    I keep my chickens locked up in bad weather - rain or any other precipitation, or really cold weather. Will guineas need to stay in during bad weather as well, or will they want to go out? Thank you

    Sick Keet or just odd?

    Update - He is MUCH perkier. I realize correlation /= causation, but the coincidence factor seems pretty high, so I'm guessing coccidia. THANK you my friendly backyard chicken friends!!!! I love this little guy and all of them - and he may very well have been the keet in the coal mine, if you...

    Sick Keet or just odd?

    I did look at his feet and they seemed fine,,, But - I put corid in their water last night and he is ALREADY popping around at least 50% more than he was. I don't know if corid will help coccidia that fast!? But whatever it is, he's feeling better. I'll keep on putting it in for 5 days like...
