This morning my group of 8 guineas wondered two blocks away from my home and 1 was attacked by a dog. I wrapped it in a towel and put it in a cage with some water. It seems to just have a gash on its back but no bones seem to be broken. I did not want to mess with it too much as it was starting to get agitated. Should I put antibiotics in its water or just electrolytes? what about pain medication? Any advice would be appreciated. I had to go to work today so I will have to hope for the best until I get home at about 6.
My second question is about the other 7. Do guineas do well in confinement? I would hate to have to butcher them but it does not seem like I have a choice if they are just going to get picked off by dogs. I was thinking of building a chicken tractor for them out of pallets i have lying around so I can continuously move them around. I have no idea how to build one but if any one has ideas or pictures I would appreciate that help as well. Thank you in advance!!
