We have had a few cold snaps this winter into the minus teens. I have found that the colder it gets the closer the flock stays near the coop. On the coldest days most have stayed in the coop all day only to come out briefly to eat. I have a 125 watt heat lamp and find that some will hang...

Update: Gimpy is doing ok. She has been able to stand on one leg for a while now. The left let is pretty floppy. If it can heal maybe she can hop to get around in the future. I am not totally convinced that she will survive even if she is able to hop around well if/when she heals. My...

I have given her some homemade electrolyte and scrambled egg the last couple of days and she seems to be calm. Food and water are next to her as well. I will monitor for as long as conditions allow to see if she pulls through. Thanks for the info.

I saw one of the guineas limping yesterday and figured I look today and see if she was any worse. This afternoon I found her by herself flopping around a bit and not able to get to her feet. Upon inspection she looks to have a broken hip or dislocation as the leg is floppy and does not feel...

Thanks for the Welcome! I'll find the appropriate forum and post some coop and guinea pictures from Eastern Montana. Looking forward to reading up on the posts to answer my future questions and ideas. After reading much of the introductory information, this forum looks to be head and...

Hello All, I am a neophyte Guinea rancher with 21 three week old Keets in the brooder and a 75% completed coop. I was at a loss for how to successfully setup the inside of the coop but then stumbled onto the Poop board convert *warning-graphic/gross poop pictures* thread. After gaining...
