Hi, I have a one week old guinea keet who's a little bit smaller than its broodmates and is having trouble walking. The keet sits a lot. It can walk and run, but it limps/stumbles while doing so - it's obviously painful to move. There are swollen white bumps all over its legs and feet. None of the other guineas are affected. Other than its legs, this guy looks like a normal keet. Anyone seen this before and know if it's contagious?
Oh yeah, forgot to say they're indoors in the tub right now, being fed game bird starter from the mfa (30 percent protein). Previous batches of guineas had the same setup with no issues. Never had problems with guineas before . . . they are the easiest things to hatch and raise - all you have to do is look at a guinea egg and it's practically guaranteed to hatch and raise itself - so I am completely thrown off by this.
