    On Wednesday one of my Guineas injured its toe and was bleeding profusely. We caught him, and realized it was a broken claw, and the bleeding was arterial. I applied pressure, blood stop powder, super glue, and cornstarch bleeding stopped so I bandaged the toe tightly and put him in a small...

    Ungrateful Guineas

    We are in Texas, on the dirty side of Harvey. I went outside this morning in the pouring rain to check on 7, 3 month old guineas. They are in a dog run under a metal roof with a tarp over them too. They took one look at me in rain boots and a rain poncho and started screaming at me. Stinkers...

    My keets are 1 week and 2 days old. They are in a brooder with paper towels as bedding. At what age can I switch them to pine shaving? As as you would use with chicks.

    Keets how to tell if they are content?

    Probiotics in water and plain fresh water?

    I am giving new chicks probiotics and electrolytes mixed in with their water. The instructions say to also have a supply of fresh water available to them at the same time. Why? How do you know they are getting their "meds" if they have a choice of waterers?
