Is that the brooder in the picture, with wire on the bottom? I've read on here that guineas have weaker hips and legs than chickens so you have to be careful what surface they are on until they build strength. I used puppy pads and then switched to pine shavings at one week. A bad walking surface can cause splayed legs.
Also, where did you get them from? Did they send any extras? I was sent 32 in my order of 30.
Oh no! What sort of bad luck have you had? This is also my second try at guineas, with the last group of ten keets killed by a fox one night which was obviously my own fault. I am being extra careful this time around in all respects (food, supplements, housing, etc)
