Dying guineas at feed store!!! Please help!!!

[scubagirl]

My guess would be the feed and the heat.

I had the same problem with pheasants the first 3 days we had them we lost 9 using medicated chick stater instead of gamebird.

That and I thought my husband had the heat to high.

I will have to make sure but I believe that is where these came from too. I know when I got my ducks earlier in the year they came from this feed store and they were from Estes.

outside of it being way too hot, then what you have described seems to be what is called "brooder-pnuemonia" which is in fact , as someone mentioned earlier, aspergillosis ... here is info on that:

That sounds right, but the question is why wouldn't it affect the chicks as well as the guineas? That's some serious stuff!!!! If they all came from the same hatchery I wonder if there's a dirty hatcher......
