I think she's in shock because she is just limp and eyes closed and slow deep breaths, so I have her in a brooder with a heat lamp. Once i put her under the lamp she actually opened her eyes and tried to stand up. I think she has hurt her left leg as she is keeping it straight out. All I can do...
Thank you. I do have electrolytes I am going to start with a dropper. Problem is, she is laying on her side with her head conpletly upside down. When I move her, she moves back to that position. She must have been injured more than just the torn wattle last night. I have scrambled eggs right...

We have a barn, and are going to convert a stall into a coop. The floors are dirt and we are planning to put a door on the open part of the stall to seal it up and for easy access, and cut a hole in...
thank you! Do you keep a light bulb in there over winter? Not necessarily a heat lamp but just light. And do you ever clean the litter out or just let it keep composting? Does it attract mites?
sounds like you have a handful with Ed.
I plan on letting the guineas fowl free range while my chickens only free range while supervised. At least thats the plan for now anyway. Will guinea roost in trees?
Yes, you can count me in for babies if you hatch any :)
