Hello,
I am new to this site and new to raising guineas.
My husband & I recently incubated guinea eggs from one of our females. 6 hatched, but 5 needed help.
We only have 4 four week old keets left.
I noticed that the smallest keet started walking with a weird limp, then the following day he/she wasn't standing upright, but walking on its hocks, using its wings to get around . The more I read online, the more confused I get.
To top it off, now another keet has the same issue, but with one leg.
They have plenty pine shavings lining the bottom of their little home, but I have noticed they are rough with each other.
Any ideas, suggestions or constructive criticism. I am desperate for any advice.
Thank you
