    Sick Guinea

    Thanks guys for your replies! I have been gone all day and so was unable to get pictures (getting dark now, so will try tomorrow). The gape worms actually fits the symptoms pretty well, so I have started her on treatment for that (and the rest of the flock). I have given her yogurt already, she...

    Guinea: Listless, swollen throat (not crop)

    My guinea hen is sick. She is about 4 months old. I have had her on antibiotics under a heat lamp for several days (she can get away from the heat lamp, but she generally sits right next to it. She is eating and drinking less--I don't think she has eaten at all today. Mostly it has just been...

    Squeaky Toys and Fuzzybutts

    I forgot how much guinea keets sound like squeaky toys (eeEE eeEE), especially compared to their chick "siblings." Here are photos of my bunch: Keets and one chick: and naptime--love the pile of fluff!

    Overload of Rooster...what can I do?

    I have added new hens a couple of times. I always quarantine for a bit, then let them freerange together for a bit during the day--so there is plenty of room to get away or mingle (but they still return to "their" coops each night). Eventually they become one flock (at least, so far that has...

    Lethargic Hen, can hardly stay awake...any ideas what it could be?

    this time of year (depending on where you are) the heat could have gotten to her, as well. liquids are definitely the most important! Let us know how she is doing tomorrow

    Week Old Chick, Bad Legs. UPDATE: I think it is working!

    well, I don't know if it is the vitamins or what, but she is doing better. She is definitely smaller than her siblings, but seems to have gotten back some energy and is actually standing up (still with shoes and brace--but I'll take it!). Thank you to all who have helped in this post and...

    Lethargic Hen, can hardly stay awake...any ideas what it could be?

    well, I don't know for sure what is going on with yours, but I had a rhode island red get sick about a month ago. no obvious symptoms except lethargy, ruffled feathers. I put into the bathroom off my mudroom b/c I didn't have anywhere else to quarantine her (the spare coop was being occupied...

    Newly bought chicks are dying of a strange disease- seems neurological

    pretty sure the horse encephalitis is different, so you shouldn't be any any trouble there even if you hadn't take the precautions you had. not sure what state you are in, but if there is a county extension office that would be a great place to start. ours has direct connections with Va Tech...

    Week Old Chick, Bad Legs. UPDATE: I think it is working!

    thank you--that is what I am afraid of. but in a way, I am glad to hear that sometimes treatments just don't work and it isn't that I am just not doing it right (if that makes sense--I really think I am doing the right thing, but I was worried since it just doesn't seem to be helping). I do...

    Newly bought chicks are dying of a strange disease- seems neurological

    I am so sorry for what you are dealing with. And it definitely sounds like they came with a disease (not that you had any doubt, but sometimes it helps to hear it from someone else too). Encephalomyelitis was my (very uneducated) guess. I haven't faced it yet (hopefully never will), but I...

    Week Old Chick, Bad Legs. UPDATE: I think it is working!

    Not quite a week, five days old. I have bandaid braces to help her splay legs (couldn't find small enough rubber band unfortunately), little cardboard shoes to help her toes straighten out, and she still doesn't want to stand. She just sits back on her hocks. It seems like she is getting worse...

    Keets and chickens, and whatever else.....(pics)

    I haven't tried uploading a video here, but with other forums I have found it easiest to put it on youtube and then just link or something

    Terrible, awful day. Almost all of my chickens dead. ***Update***

    I am so sorry!! Losing one or two is so hard, I cannot imagine. I hope you get some answers, even though it won't bring your birds back.
