Guinea won't get up. Any advice?

[Mella Meadows]

Hi, I'm new here. My guinea hens are about 15 weeks old free range,coop trained. I have lost about 6 don't know to what. No trace of them. Now I have 2 that won't stand up. No sign of blood. I have separated them from others. They don't like it when I pick them up. It's been 4 days. One started out like it was limping. Not sure if they are male or female. Can't find a poultry vet in my area. Any suggestions or things to try to diagnose problem. Thanks in advance.

Do you mean that predators have been grabbing your guineas? Then they would need a more secure coop and run (with cover) to prevent hawks from taking them. Are your others wounded perhaps and maybe why they won't get up? Or do they seem to have an illness? The guinea folks will be a great source for information for you
