So, I have a flock of 18 guineas one of them seems to have a back deformity and it's worrying me, she just has a hunch back, could this be something else? She's also smaller then the rest

It may be a genetic problem.. Not sure though.. Not very knowledgeable on guinea fowl. Sorry.

A picture may help. I am not knowledgable on back problems in guineas, but there are others who are.

There are bone deformities such as kinky back or scoliosis in poultry. It can be hereditary or linked to rapid growth. I don't know enough about guineas, but you can also go up to Forums, and scroll down to Other Poultry to Guineas to post there as well.

Pictures would definitely help

Shrimp is the smaller hunched over guinea. She pretty cute.

She is my favorite Little guinea so I've kept a close eye on her, she seems to get around fine and she sounds normal

They’re all looking hunched to me as theypeck at the grass. Is she the one in back with a slightly higher hump?
